    Given that BG = ₹ 144 , R = 24%
    T = 8 yr and PW = ?
    According to the formula,
    PW = BG x [100/(R x T)]2
    = 144 x [100/(24 x 8)]2

    Correct Option: A

    Given that BG = ₹ 144 , R = 24%
    T = 8 yr and PW = ?
    According to the formula,
    PW = BG x [100/(R x T)]2
    = 144 x [100/(24 x 8)]2
    = 144 x (100/192) x (100/192)
    = ₹ 39.06

    Given that, BD = ₹ 196 and BG = ₹ 28
    ∴ TD = BD - BG = 196 - 28 = ₹ 168
    According to the formula,
    A = (BD x TD)/BG = (196 x 168)/28

    Correct Option: C

    Given that, BD = ₹ 196 and BG = ₹ 28
    ∴ TD = BD - BG = 196 - 28 = ₹ 168
    According to the formula,
    A = (BD x TD)/BG = (196 x 168)/28
    = 196 X 6
    = ₹ 1176

    T.D. = (B.G x 100) / (R x T)
    = (1 x 100) / (5 x 1)
    = ₹ 20



  1. Find the banker's discount on a bill due 3 years hence at 5% being given that the banker's gain is Rs. 90 ?

    T.D. = (90 x 100) / (3 x 5) = Rs. 600
    ∴ Banker's discount = True discount + Banker's gain

    Correct Option: C

    T.D. = (90 x 100) / (3 x 5) = Rs. 600
    ∴ Banker's discount = True discount + Banker's gain
    = Rs. 600 + Rs. 90
    = Rs. 690
