• A. Rs. 15.90, Rs. 145.20
• B. Rs. 19.80, Rs. 145.20
• C. Rs. 19.80, Rs. 265.20
• D. Rs. 15.90, Rs. 265.20

Answer 1

The correct option is B Rs. 19.80, Rs. 145.20

We have,
Marked price of the shirt = ₹165, discount $\%=12\%$
$\therefore$ Discount $=12\%$ of ₹165 $=(\frac{12}{100}\times 165)$= ₹19.80
S.P. of the shirt = M.P. - Discount = ₹(165.00 - 19.80) = ₹145.20
