Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
F = Rs. 2160TD = Rs. 360
PW = F - TD = 2160 - 360 = Rs. 1800
True Discount is the Simple Interest on the present value for unexpired time
⇒ Simple Interest on Rs. 1800 for unexpired time = Rs. 360
Banker's Discount is the Simple Interest on the face value of the bill for unexpired time
= Simple Interest on Rs. 2160 for unexpired time
