• A. ₹75,20,000
• B. ₹1.2 Crores
• C. ₹51,60,000
• D. ₹72 Lakhs

Answer 1

The correct option is C ₹51,60,000

Total cost of houses sold by Broker A = 20,00,000$\times$50 = ₹10 crores
Brokerage earned by him = 3% of ₹10 crores = $\frac{3}{100}\times 100000000$ = ₹30,00,000
Total cost of houses sold by Broker B = 24,00,000$\times$45 = ₹10.8 crores
Brokerage earned by him = 2% of ₹10.8 crores = $\frac{2}{100}\times 108000000$ = ₹21,60,000
Total Brokerage earned by them = ₹30,00,000 + ₹21,60,000 = ₹51,60,000
