Question

Hari and Jawahar together bought a piece of land. Hari paid ₹12,50,000 while Jawahar paid ₹14,25,000. They both paid a commission to the broker who got them the land. Hari paid 2% of his amount and Jawahar paid 4% for his amount. How much total commission does the broker get?

• A. ₹67,500
• B. ₹57,000
• C. ₹82,000
• D. ₹1,05,000

Answer 1

The correct option is C ₹82,000

Commission paid by Hari = 2% of ₹12,50,000 = $\frac{2}{100}\times 1250000$ = ₹25000
Commission paid by Jawahar = 4% of ₹14,25,000 = $\frac{4}{100}\times 1425000$ = ₹57000
Total commission that the broker gets = ₹57000 + ₹25000 = ₹82000
