Show Answer

Correct Answer: (1)

Solution: (1)

Total price without installation and transportation $=2,07,530-250-(11 \times 350)$ $=$ Rs. $2,03,430$

Total price before sales tax $=2,03,430 \times\left(\frac{100}{105}\right)$ $=$ Rs. 1,93,743

Total price before GST $=1,93,743 \times\left(\frac{100}{103}\right)$ $=$ Rs. $1,88,100$

Total price before discount $=1,88,100 \times\left(\frac{100}{95}\right)$ $=$ Rs. $1,98,000$

Original price of one R type com-

puter $=\frac{198000}{11}$ $=$ Rs. 18,000
