Discussion Forum : True Discount - General Questions (Q.No. 5)
5.
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);
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)....

In the question itself( T.R =10), they doubled the time that means then P.W also changes.
So, calculate the P.W after change by (2 .T.R=20).
A = P.W(1+2.T.R/100).
110 = P.W(1+20/100).
P.W = 110(5/6).
T.D = A - P.W = 110 - 110(5/6) = 110/6 = 18.33.
So, calculate the P.W after change by (2 .T.R=20).
A = P.W(1+2.T.R/100).
110 = P.W(1+20/100).
P.W = 110(5/6).
T.D = A - P.W = 110 - 110(5/6) = 110/6 = 18.33.

See, the true discount allowed is Rs. 10 and the amount to be paid after a certain time is Rs. 110.
We don't know the time and the present worth. So lets assume a value. Let's say the present worth is Rs.100, and the time is 1 year. Thus the Rate has to be 10%. Now double the time, so what is the present worth if Rs.110 was due in 2 years at 10%? It comes out to be Rs. 91.66. Thus the true discount becomes Rs.18.33.)

Given.
T.D = 10, AMOUNT = 110.
SO, BY USING THE FORMULA.
100*AMT/(100+RT)=100 * T.D/(RT),
WE KNOW THAT RT= 10,
Since the question asked to find out the T.D after double the time
RT=20,
So, by using the same above formula T.D=18.3333.
T.D = 10, AMOUNT = 110.
SO, BY USING THE FORMULA.
100*AMT/(100+RT)=100 * T.D/(RT),
WE KNOW THAT RT= 10,
Since the question asked to find out the T.D after double the time
RT=20,
So, by using the same above formula T.D=18.3333.

PW = Amt*100/100+rt = td*100/rt.
=> 11000/100+rt = 1000/rt.
=> rt = 10.
Now, we have amt 110 on t double at are % and need to find out new TD on new PW or you can say.
TD = Amt - PW.
= 110 - 110*100/100+r*2t.
= 110(1-100/100+2*10).
= 110(1-100/120) = 18.33.
=> 11000/100+rt = 1000/rt.
=> rt = 10.
Now, we have amt 110 on t double at are % and need to find out new TD on new PW or you can say.
TD = Amt - PW.
= 110 - 110*100/100+r*2t.
= 110(1-100/100+2*10).
= 110(1-100/120) = 18.33.

We have to find the discount if the same sum i.e. 110 is supposed to be paid after 2 years instead of 1 year.
