Show Hint
- 15%
- 5%
- 10%
- 95%
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Amount received in Bank = ₹ 4,75,000
Discount on issue = ₹ 5,00,000 – ₹ 4,75,000 = ₹ 25,000
Percentage of discount = (₹ 25,000 / ₹ 5,00,000) × 100 = 5%
However, note that there’s also a Loss on Issue of Debentures of ₹ 75,000, which includes the discount plus premium payable on redemption. Premium on Redemption = ₹ 50,000
Thus, actual discount = ₹ 75,000 – ₹ 50,000 = ₹ 25,000
Therefore, the discount rate = (₹ 25,000 / ₹ 5,00,000) × 100 = 5%.
Hence, the correct answer is (B) 5%.
Final Answer: 5%

निम्नलिखित पंक्तियों की सप्रसंग व्याख्या कीजिए:
कहते हैं, पर्वत शोभा-निकेतन होते हैं। फिर हिमालय का तो कहना ही क्या!
पूर्व और अपर समुद्र-महौदधि और रत्नाकर – दोनों को दोनों भुजाओं से थामता हुआ
हिमालय ‘पृथ्वी का मानदंड’ कहा जाए तो गलत क्या है? कालिदास ने ऐसा ही कहा था।
इसी के पाद-देश में यह श्रृंखला दूर तक लोटी हुई है, लोग इसे शिवालिक श्रृंखला कहते हैं।
‘शिवालिक’ का क्या अर्थ है? ‘शिवालिक’ या शिव के जटाजूट का निचला हिस्सा तो नहीं है।
लगता तो ऐसा ही है। शिव की लटियायी जटा ही इतनी सूखी, नीरस और कठोर हो सकती है।
वैसे, अलकनंदा का स्रोत यहाँ से काफी दूरी पर है, लेकिन शिव का अलक तो दूर-दूर तक
छितराया ही रहता होगा। संपूर्ण हिमालय को देखकर तो किसी के मन में समाधिस्थ महादेव की
मूर्ति स्पष्ट हुई होगी।- CBSE CLASS XII - 2025
