Solution

The correct option is C
₹ 14240

Given : P = ₹27000 , R = 8% and
$T = \frac{8}{12}$ years

$S I = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{27000 \times 8 \times 8}{12 \times 100}$

= ₹1440

$∴$ Amount = SI + P = ₹(1440 + 27000) = ₹28440

Amount returned in cash = ₹14200

$∴$ Cost of the television = ₹28440 - ₹14200 = ₹14240
