• B. (i) Rs. 1,920 (ii) Rs. 17,630
• C. (i) Rs. 1,660 (ii) Rs. 12,530
• D. (i) Rs. 1,530 (ii) Rs. 16,830

Answer 1

The correct option is D (i) Rs. 1,530 (ii) Rs. 16,830

Catalogue Price=Rs.20000

Two discount=15%. and 10%

Price after discount$=20000\times \frac{85}{100}\times \frac{90}{100}=Rs.15300$

Sales tax rate=10%

(i) Sales tax amount$=15300\times \frac{10}{100}=Rs.1530$

(ii)The final amount customer pay$=15300+1530=Rs.16830$
