If Rs. 10 be allowed as true discount on a bill of Rs. 110 due at the end of a certain time, then the discount allowed on the same sum due at the end of double the time is:

Solution (By Examveda Team)

S.I. on Rs. (110 - 10) for a certain time = Rs. 10.
S.I. on Rs. 100 for double the time = Rs. 20.
T.D. on Rs. 120 = Rs. (120 - 100) = Rs. 20.
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{T}}{\text{.D}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{on}}\,{\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{110}} \cr & = Rs.\,\left( {\frac{{20}}{{120}} \times 110} \right) \cr & = Rs.\,18.33 \cr} $$
