Here , Amount = ₹ 371 ,True discount = ₹ 21
₹21 is the interest on ₹( 371 - 21 ) = ₹350
Present worth = ₹350∴ Present worth × no of year × rate = True Discount 100 ∴ 350 × no of year × rate = 21 100 ⇒ Number of year × rate = 2100 = 6 350
∴ Twice number of years × rate ( R x T )= 12
Now, on ₹112, the True Discount is ₹12∴ on ₹371, True Discount = ₹ Amount × Rate × Time 100 + ( Rate × Time )
Correct Option: D
Here ,( Sum Due ) Amount = ₹ 371 , True discount = ₹ 21
₹21 is the interest on ₹( 371 - 21 ) = ₹350
Present worth = ₹350∴ Present worth × no of year × rate = True Discount 100 ∴ 350 × no of year × rate = 21 100 ⇒ Number of year × rate = 2100 = 6 350
∴ Twice number of years × rate ( R x T )= 12
Now, on ₹112, the True Discount is ₹12∴ on ₹371, True Discount = ₹ Amount × Rate × Time 100 + ( Rate × Time ) True Discount = ₹ 12 × 371 112
True Discount = ₹39.75

Given :- True Discount = ₹ 150 , Time = 9 months = ( 3/4 ) years
Present worth ( P.W. ) = True Discount × 100 = ₹ 150 × 100 R × T 3/4 × 4
Correct Option: A
Given :- True Discount = ₹ 150 , Time = 9 months = ( 3/4 ) years
Present worth ( P.W. ) = True Discount × 100 = ₹ 150 × 100 R × T 3/4 × 4
Present worth = 5000
∴ Amount of the bill = Present worth + True discount
Amount of the bill = ₹5000 + ₹150 = ₹5150.
