Show Answer

Correct Answer: (3)

Solution: (3)

Total price without installation and transportation $=2,42,125-250-(9 \times 750)$ $=$ Rs. $2,35,125$

Total price before tax $=2,35,125 \times\left(\frac{100}{110}\right)$ $=$ Rs. $2,13,750$

Total price before discount $=2,13,750 \times\left(\frac{100}{95}\right)$ $=$ Rs. 2,25,000

Original price of one $Q$ type computer $=\frac{225000}{9}$ $=$ Rs. 25,000
