Question

Ahmed went to watch a movie in a PVR near him. For tickets below ₹300, the GST charged was 18% and for the tickets above ₹300 it was 28%. He bought 2 tickets of ₹280 each and 3 for ₹540 each. How much did Ahmed finally pay for the 5 tickets including GST?

• A. ₹2734.4
• B. ₹2704.2
• C. ₹2764.6
• D. ₹2748.4

Answer 1

The correct option is A ₹2734.4

For the first two tickets costing ₹280 each,
GST = 18% of ₹ 560 = $\frac{18}{100}\times 560$ = ₹100.8

Total cost of these two tickets including GST
= ₹560 + ₹100.8 = ₹660.8

For the next 3 tickets costing ₹540 each,
GST = 28% of ₹1620 = $\frac{28}{100}\times 1620$ = ₹453.6

Total cost of these three tickets including GST
= ₹1620 + ₹453.6 = ₹2073.6

The amount that Ahmed had to pay for these five tickets
= ₹660.8 + ₹2073.6 = ₹2734.4
