= Rs 4000

Q 3 - The genuine markdown on a sure total of cash due 3 years consequently is Rs 200 and the straightforward enthusiasm on the some aggregate for the same time and at the same guideline is Rs. 240. Discover the aggregate and the rate percent.

= Rs 1200
T.D is S.I. on the sum. 
Rs. 240 is S.I. on Rs 1200 for a long time. 
R= ((100 x 240))/((1200 x 3))% p.a.
= 20/3% p.a

T.D. = Rs 26.25, T = 10/12  year=  5/6  year,R=6% p.a.
Let P.W. be Rs x. Then,
S.I. on Rs x at 6% p.a. for 5/6 year is Rs. 26.25
∴  (x * 6 * 5/6)/100 = 25.25 
=> x= (26.25 * 20) = 525
∴  (P.W.) + (T.D.) = Rs. (525+26.25) = Rs 551.25

= Rs. 3x/103
∴ 3x/100-3x/103 = 27 
=> (309x-300x) = (27 * 100 * 103)
=> x = ((27*100*103))/9 
= 30900
