I want to sell my scooter. There are two offers, One at cash payment of Rs. 8100 and another at a credit of Rs. 8250 to be paid after 6 months. If money being worth 6 1/ 4% per annum simple interest, which is the better offer?
Correct Answer: Rs. 8100 in cash
Explanation:
P.W. of Rs. 8285 due 6 months hence = Rs. { (100 x 8250) / {100 + (25 / 4 x 1 / 2)} } = Rs. 8000
∴ Rs. 8100 in cash is a better offer.
