    Amount = Rs. 1860.
    True discount = Rs. 60
    ∴ Present worth = Rs. 1860 - Rs. 60 = Rs. 1800
    S.I. on Rs. 1800 for 8 months = Rs. 60

    Correct Option: A

    Amount = Rs. 1860.
    True discount = Rs. 60
    ∴ Present worth = Rs. 1860 - Rs. 60 = Rs. 1800
    S.I. on Rs. 1800 for 8 months = Rs. 60
    ∴ Rate = [(100 x 60) / (1800 x 2/3)]% = 5%
    ∴ Banker's discount = (1860 x 5 x 2/3)/100 = Rs. 62

    T.D. = (B.D. X 100) / {100 + (R X T)}
    = Rs. (37.08 x 100) / {100 + (6 x 1/2)}
    = Rs. 36

    T.D. = (B.G. x 100) / (R x T)

    Correct Option: A

    T.D. = (B.G. x 100) / (R x T) = Rs. (90 x 100) / (5 x 3)
    = Rs. 600
    ∴ B.D. = Rs. (600 +90) = Rs. 690
