Solution

The correct option is A

₹ 6720


Since, the shopkeeper sells the article for ₹7500 and charges sales-tax at the rate of 12%.
The tax charged by the shopkeeper = 12% of ₹7500
= 12100× 7500
= ₹900
Since, VAT = Tax charged – Tax paid
₹180 = ₹900 – Tax paid
Tax paid by the shopkeeper = ₹ 900 - ₹ 180 = ₹ 720
If the shopkeeper buys the article for ₹ x
Tax on it = 12% of x = ₹720
12100× x = ₹ 720
x = ₹6000
Therefore, the price inclusive of tax paid by the shopkeeper = ₹6000 + ₹720 = ₹6720
