Aptitude - Banker's Discount - Discussion

Discussion Forum : Banker's Discount - General Questions (Q.No. 4)
4.
The banker's discount on a sum of money for 1 years is Rs. 558 and the true discount on the same sum for 2 years is Rs. 600. The rate percent is:
10%
13%
12%
15%
Answer: Option
Explanation:

B.D. for years = Rs. 558.
B.D. for 2 years
= Rs. 558 x 2 x 2
3
= Rs. 744

T.D. for 2 years = Rs. 600.

Sum = B.D. x T.D. = Rs. 744 x 600 = Rs. 3100.
B.D. - T.D 144

Thus, Rs. 744 is S.I. on Rs. 3100 for 2 years.

Rate = 100 x 744 % = 12%
3100 x 2
