If Rs. 10 be allowed as true discount on a bill of Rs. 110 due at the end of a certain time, then the discount allowed on the same sum due at the end of double the time is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
S.I. on Rs. (110 - 10) for a certain time = Rs. 10.
S.I. on Rs. 100 for double the time = Rs. 20.
T.D. on Rs. 120 = Rs. (120 - 100) = Rs. 20.
| T.D. on Rs. 110 = Rs. |  |
20 | x 110 |  |
= Rs. 18.33 |
| 120 |

According to question,
Amount=110,True Discount=10,Present Worth=110-10=100;
Now,we know,P.W.=(Amount*100)/100+(R*T);
So,100=(110*100)/100+(R*T);that implies (R*T)=10;
Again in question,
(R*2T)=(2RT)=2*10=20;Now,
P.W.=(110*100)/100+(2RT)=(110*100)/100+20=91.66;
So,T.D.=Amount-P.W.=110-91.66=Rs.18.34/- (clear)....
Amount=110,True Discount=10,Present Worth=110-10=100;
Now,we know,P.W.=(Amount*100)/100+(R*T);

P.W.=(110*100)/100+(2RT)=(110*100)/100+20=91.66;

How you have got p.W=(Amt*100)/(100+(r*t))

The discount allowed on the same sum 110 is double the time means 10 becomes 20%
So, 20% will come.
Therefore, principal amount is 100 for both the cases
(20x 110)/120= Rs. 18.33
So, 20% will come.
Therefore, principal amount is 100 for both the cases
(20x 110)/120= Rs. 18.33
