A bill of ₹ 8,000 drawn on 5^th January 2019 for 8 months was discounted for ₹ 7,680 on a certain date. Find the date on which it was discounted at 10% p.a.

Solution: Banker’s Discount

B.D.= F.V. − C.V. = 8,000 −7,680 = ₹ 320

Date of drawing = 5^th January 2019

Period = 8 months

Nominal due date = `square`

Legal due date = `square`

B.D. = Interest on F.V. for n at 10% p.a.

∴ B.D. = `("F.V." xx "n"/365 xx "r")/100`

∴ 320 = `(8000 xx "n"/365 xx 10)/100`

∴ n = `square` days

∴ Date of discounting is `square`

Three cars were sold through an agent for ₹ 2,40,000, ₹ 2,22,000 and ₹ 2,25,000 respectively. The rates of commission were 17.5% on the first, 12.5% on the second. If the agent overall received 14% commission on the total sales, find the rate of commission paid on the third car.

Solution: Total selling Price of three cars = 2,40,000 + 2,22,000 + 2,25,000

= `square`

Commision on total sale = 14%

= `14/100 xx square`

Selling price of First car = ₹ 2,40,000

Rate of commission = 17.5% 

= `17.5/100 xx 2,40,000 = square`

∴ Commission on first car = ₹ `square`

Selling price of Second car = ₹ 2,22,000

Rate of commission = 12.5%

= `12.5/100 xx 2,22,000 = square`

∴ Commission on second car = ₹ `square`

Selling price of third car = ₹ 2,25,000

Let the rate of commission be x

Commission on third car = `x/100 xx 2,25,000`

∴ Commission on third car = Total commission − (commission on first car + commission on second car)

∴ `x/100 xx 2,25,000 = square - {square + square}`

∴ x = `square`
