Solution

The correct option is D Rs. $21, 000$
$\Rightarrow$ Commission at $5 %$ on the sales over Rs. $10, 000$
$\Rightarrow$ Monthly income - monthly salary.= Rs. $2050 -$ Rs. $1500 =$ Rs. $550.$
$\Rightarrow$ The sales over Rs. $10, 000 = 550 \times \frac{100}{5} =$ Rs. $11000.$
$\Rightarrow$ Total sales during the month = Rs. $10, 000 +$ Rs. $11, 000 =$ Rs. $21, 000$
