    The banker's discount on a sum of money for 1(1/2) years is Tk. 558 and the true discount on the same sum for 2 years is Tk. The rate percent is:

    ক)
    10%
    খ)
    13%
    গ)
    12%
    ঘ)
    15%

    Explanation

    B.D. for 3/2 years = Tk. 558. B.D. for 2 years = Tk. {558 x (2/3) x 2} = Tk. 744 T.D. for 2 years = Tk. 600. So, Sum = (B.D. x T.D.)/( B.D. - T.D) = Tk. (744 x 600)/144 = Tk. 3100. Thus, Tk. 744 is S.I. on Tk. 3100 for 2 years . So, Rate = (100 x 744)/(3100 x 2)% = 12%
