  1. The banker’s gain of a certain sum due 2 years hence at 10% per annum is Rs. 24. What is the present worth?
    1. Rs. 600
    2. Rs. 500
    3. Rs. 400
    4. Rs. 300
Correct Option: A

Here , Banker's Gain = Rs. 24 , Time = 2 years and Rate = 10%
According to question ,

True Discount = Banker's Gain × 100
Time x Rate
True Discount = 24 × 100 = Rs. 120
2 x 10
True Discount = PW x Time x Rate
100
120 = PW x 2 x 10
100

⇒ 1200 = Present Worth x 2
Present Worth = 1200 = Rs. 600
2

Hence , the present worth is Rs. 600 .
