The banker's discount on Rs. 1600 at 15% per annum is the same as true discount on Rs. 1680 for the same time and at the same rate. The time is:
3 months
4 months
6 months
8 months
Answer: Option
Explanation:

S.I. on Rs. 1600 = T.D. on Rs. 1680.

Rs. 1600 is the P.W. of Rs. 1680, i.e., Rs. 80 is on Rs. 1600 at 15%.

Time = 100 x 80 year = 1 year = 4 months.
1600 x 15 3

Why 1600 is taken in time calculation?

If Td is 1680.

I think T.D is 1600 and B.D is 1680.

Then based on T.D formula this can be solved.

1600-15% = 240
1680-1600 = 80
80/240 = 1/3 *"4/12 = 1/3" * 4 is no of months /12 is total months,
So, the answer is = 4 Months.
