Question

A box containing 200 footballs was to be sent from Kerala to Maharashtra. The GST on it was 18%. If the total GST paid was ₹540, what was the price of the box?

• A. ₹6000
• B. ₹2000
• C. ₹3000
• D. ₹5000

Answer 1

The correct option is C ₹3000

Kerala to Maharashtra is an inter-state transaction.
So, only one GST which is IGST is charged which is given as 18%.
Let the price of the box be ₹x.
$\frac{18}{100}\times x$ = ₹540
$\Rightarrow$ x = $\frac{540\times 100}{18}$ = ₹3000
