There was a famous barber shop in Lucknow. He used to charge ₹400 per haircut and ₹200 per shave. On an average he used to get 20 customers per day for haircut and 30 per day for shave. The GST rate for haircut was 18% and for shave was 12%. What was the total GST on an average which he used to collect in a day to pay to the Government?

• A. ₹1940
• B. ₹2280
• C. ₹2160
• D. ₹2440

Answer 1

The correct option is C ₹2160

Cost of a haircut = ₹400

Average number of haircuts in a day = 20

Total charge of haircuts = 400$\times$20 = ₹8000

GST on Haircut = 18%

Total GST collected for haircut

= $\frac{18}{100}\times 8000$ = ₹1440

Cost of a shave = ₹200

Average number of shaves in a day = 30

Total charge of shaves = 200$\times$30 = ₹6000

GST on Shave = 12%

Total GST collected for shave

= $\frac{12}{100}\times 6000$ = ₹720

Total GST collected by Barber per day on an average = ₹1440 + ₹720 = ₹2160.
