Show Answer

Correct Answer: (4)

Solution: (4)

Total price without installation $=4,02,984-(12 \times 750)$ $=$ Rs. 3,93,984

Total price before tax $=3,93,984 \times\left(\frac{100}{108}\right)$ $=$ Rs. $3,64,800$

Total price before discount $=3,64,800 \times\left(\frac{100}{95}\right)$ $=$ Rs. 3,84,000

Original price of one $P$ computer $=\frac{384000}{12}$ $=$ Rs. 32,000

Original price of one $Q$ computer $=32,000 \times\left(\frac{100}{110}\right)$

= Rs. 29,090
