• B. $Rs.4,060.60$
• C. $Rs.5,060.60$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A $Rs.6,060.60$

Hamid purchase some articles $Rs5460$

He paid $8\%$ sales tax on it =$\frac{5460\times 8}{100}=RS.436.80$

And $3\%$ central sales tax on it =$\frac{5460\times 3}{100}=Rs.163.80$

Then he pay total amount $=5460.00+436.80+163.80=Rs.6060.60$
