Solution

The correct option is D
₹ 2070

Marked Price of the article = ₹ 2000

Given that Discount % = 10

Discount Amount = $\frac{10}{100}$ $\times$ 2000

= 200

Selling Price of the article = 2000 - 200

= ₹ 1800

Sales tax of the article = ₹ 1800 $\times$ $\frac{15}{100}$

= ₹ 270

Hence the total price of the article = ₹ 1800 + 270

= ₹ 2070
