Solution

The correct option is B

Rs. 1356.80, Rs.19.20


(i) Price paid by the shopkeeper.

Discount % = 20 % ; Hence 20 % of 1600 = ₹ 320

Price of the camera after discount = ₹ 1600- 32 1280

Rate of Sales tax = 6 %

Hence 6% of 1280 = ₹ 76.80

Hence the price paid by the shopkeeper

= ₹ 1280 + ₹ 76.80

= ₹ 1356.80

(ii) For wholesaler, VAT = 6% of 1280 = ₹ 76.80

For buyer, VAT = 6% of 1600

= (6100) ×1,600

= ₹ 96

VAT paid by the shopkeeper = ₹ 96 – ₹ 76.80 = ₹ 19.20
