Solution

The correct option is A
Rs. 36

Printed price of mobile is ₹ 2000.

Discounted price= 2000 $\times \frac{70}{100}$ = ₹ 1400

Tax paid by Apurva = ₹ 1400 $\times \frac{6}{100}$ = ₹ 84

Apurva sells the mobile on its printed price which is equal to the the cost price of the camera for the buyer.

So, the cost price of mobile for buyer = ₹ 2000

Sales tax paid by the buyer

= ₹. $6 %$ of ₹ 2000

= $\frac{6}{100} \times 2000$

= ₹ 120.

VAT paid by Apurva

= Sales tax charged by her – Sales tax paid by her

= ₹ 120 – ₹ 84

= ₹ 36
