• A. Rs. $1,648$
• B. Rs. $1,600$
• C. Rs. $1,048$
• D. Rs. $2,048$

Answer 1

The correct option is B Rs. $1,600$

$\Rightarrow$ Cost price of goat is $Rs.2000$.

$\Rightarrow$ Man loss $20\%$ after selling goat.

$\Rightarrow$ Selling price of goat after 30% loss = $2000-\frac{20}{100}\times 2000$

$\Rightarrow$ Selling price of goat after 30% loss = $Rs.2000-Rs.400=Rs.1600$
