    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

    Present worth of bill = ₹ (7440 - 240) = ₹ 7200
    ∴ Banker's Gain (BG) = (TD)2/PW
    = (240 x 240) / 7200

    Correct Option: D

    Present worth of bill = ₹ (7440 - 240) = ₹ 7200
    ∴ Banker's Gain (BG) = (TD)2/PW
    = (240 x 240) / 7200
    = 576/72
    = ₹ 8

    Given That, A = ₹ 12750, R = 6%
    and T = 4 Months = 4/12 = 1/3 yr , BD = ?
    According to the formula,
    BD = (A x R x T)/100

    Correct Option: C

    Given That, A = ₹ 12750, R = 6%
    and T = 4 Months = 4/12 = 1/3 yr , BD = ?
    According to the formula,
    BD = (A x R x T)/100
    = [12750 x 6 x (1/3)] / 100
    = (12750 x 2) / 100
    = ₹ 255
