Explanation:

Face value of the bill = Rs. 6000.
Date on which the bill was drawn = July 14 at 5 months. Nominally due date = December 14.
Legally due date = December 17.
Date on which the bill was discounted = October 5.
Unexpired time : Oct. Nov. Dec.
26 + 30 + 17 = 73 days =1/ 5Years
B.D. = S.I. on Rs. 6000 for 1/5 year
= Rs. (6000 x 10 x1/5 x1/100)= Rs. 120.
T.D. = Rs.[(6000 x 10 x1/5)/(100+(10*1/5))]
=Rs.(12000/102)=Rs. 117.64.
B.G. = (B.D.) - (T.D.) = Rs. (120 - 117.64) = Rs. 2.36.
