    Rs. 40 is the true discount on Rs. 300 due after a certain time. What will be the true discount on the same sum due after half of the former time, the rate of interest being the same?

    A)  Rs. 21.40                     

    B)  Rs.21.42

    C)  Rs. 15.20           

    D)       Rs. 23.30

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     S.I. on Rs. \[(300+40)\] for a given time = Rs. 40. S.I. on Rs. 260 for half the time = Rs. 20. T.D. on Rs. 280 = Rs. 20. \[\therefore \]T.D. on Rs. 300 = Rs. \[\left( \frac{20}{280}\,\,\,\,\,\,300 \right)\]              = Rs. 21.42
