If Rs.10 be allowed as true discount on a bill of Rs.110 at the end of a certain time , then the discount allowed on the same sum due at the end of double the time is
Answer: B
Recover the rate–time product from the original bill.
\[ \text{PW} = 110 - 10 = 100 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad 100k = 10 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad k = 0.1 \]
Doubling the time doubles \( k \) to 0.2, so
\[ \text{PW}' = \frac{110}{1.2} = 91.67 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \text{TD}' = 110 - 91.67 = \text{Rs. } 18.33 \]
The discount grows, but by less than double: the present worth it is charged on falls at the same time, so the two effects partly cancel.
