Question

Karan deposited 24% of the cost of her house.
If he paid 124,800 rupees for the deposit, what was the cost of the house?

• A. 29,952 rupees
• B. 154,752 rupees
• C. 499,200 rupees
• D. 520,000 rupees

Answer 1

The correct option is D

520,000 rupees

Given 24 % of the cost of the house = Rs. 124,800

Hence $\frac{24}{100}\times \text{cost of the house}$
= Rs. 124,800
Cost of the house = Rs. 124,800 $\times$ $\frac{100}{24}$
$\Rightarrow \text{cost of the house}=520,000\text{rupees}$
