Question

If a company sells a car with a marked price of Rs. $2,72,000$ and gives a discount of $4\%$ on Rs. $2,00,000$ and $2.5\%$ on the remaining amount of Rs. $72,000$, then the actual price charged by the company for the car is

• A. Rs. $2,50,000$
• B. Rs. $2,55,000$
• C. Rs. $2,60,100$
• D. Rs. $2,62,200$

Answer 1

The correct option is D Rs. $2,62,200$

M.P. $=$ Rs. $2,72,000$.
Discount $=$ Rs. $\left[\right(4\%$ of $2,00,000)+(2.5\%$ of $72,000\left)\right]$

$=\left[(\frac{4}{100}\times 200000)+(\frac{2.5}{100}\times 72000)\right]$
$=$ Rs. $(8,000+1,800)$
$=$ Rs. $9,800.$
Therefor, actual price $=$ Rs. $(2,72,000-9,800)$
$=$ Rs. $2,62,200.$
