    S.I. on $ 240 for a given time = $ 20
    S.I. on $ 240 for half the time = $ 10
    ∴ $ 10 is T.D. on $ 250

    Correct Option: B

    S.I. on $ 240 for a given time = $ 20
    S.I. on $ 240 for half the time = $ 10
    ∴ $ 10 is T.D. on $ 250

    So, T.D. on $ 260 = $ 10 x 260 = 10.40 .
    250
