Question 105

A sells a car priced at Rs. 36,000. He gives a discount of 8% on the first Rs. 20,000 and 5% on the remaining Rs. 16,000. B also sells a car of the same make, priced at Rs. 36,000. He gives a discount of 7 % on the total price. Calculate the actual prices charged by A and B for the cars.

Solution

Price of car = Rs. 36,000

A gives 8% discount on Rs. 20,000 and 5% on Rs. 16,000

=> Price charged by A = $$[20,000-(\frac{8}{100}\times20,000)]+[16,000-(\frac{5}{100}\times16,000)]$$

= $$(20,000-1600)+(16,000-800)=Rs.$$ $$33,600$$

Similarly, Price charged by B = $$36,000-(\frac{7}{100}\times36,000)$$

= $$36,000-2520=Rs.$$ $$33,480$$

=> Ans - (D)
