Solution

The correct option is B

₹ 5000


Let the marked price of the article be x, discount = 10 %

Amount of discount = ₹ x × 10100
Cost of the article after discount = ₹ ( x - 10x100) = 9x10

Since the sales tax is 10 % on reduced price

Amount of sales tax = ₹ 9x10 × 20100
= 9x50

Net amount to be paid = ₹ 9x10 + 18x50

Given that the amount paid = ₹ 5400


9x10 + 18x50 = 5400
x = 5400×5054
x = ₹ 5000
