• A. Rs. 2096.6, Rs.23073.60 respectively
• B. Rs. 2296.6, Rs.23073.60 respectively
• C. Rs. 2296.6, Rs.23037.60 respectively
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Rs. 2096.6, Rs.23073.60 respectively

Printed price of a computer = ₹ 24,000

After giving $8\%$ of discount, price =₹ 24,000 $\times$ $\left(\frac{92}{100}\right)$ = 22080

Further $5\%$ discount = ₹ 22080 $\times$ $\left(\frac{95}{100}\right)$ = ₹. 20976

Rate of sales tax = 10%

Hence amount paid by customer = ₹ (20976) $\times$ $\left(\frac{110}{100}\right)$

= ₹ 23073.60

So, the sales amount paid by customer = ₹ (23073.60 - 20976) = ₹ 2097.6
