Solution

The correct option is A

Rs 95


Cost of production of manufacturer = Cost of wholesaler = Rs.500.

Tax charged by manufacturer from wholesaler = Rs 5% of Rs.500 = Rs.25.

Cost charged by wholesaler from retailer = Rs.600

Tax charged by the wholesaler = Rs 5% of Rs.600 = Rs.30.

The cost charged by the retailer from customer = Rs.800.

Tax charged by retailer from customer = Rs 5% of Rs.800 = Rs.40.

The Government collects the same tax at different stages = Rs.(25 + 30 + 40) = Rs.95
