Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & T.D. = \frac{{B.D. \times 100}}{{100 + \left( {R \times T} \right)}} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = Rs.\left[ {\frac{{420 \times 100}}{{100 + \left( {15 \times \frac{1}{3}} \right)}}} \right] \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = Rs.\,\left( {\frac{{420 \times 100}}{{105}}} \right) \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = Rs.\,400 \cr} $$
