Question : A sells a car priced at Rs. 36000. 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. 36000. He gives a discount of 7% on the total price. Calculate the actual prices charged by A and B for the cars.
Option 1: A = Rs. 33,500 B = Rs. 33,400
Option 2: A = Rs. 33,480 B = Rs. 33,600
Option 3: A = Rs. 33,450 B = Rs. 33,650
Option 4: A = Rs. 33,600 B = Rs. 33,480
Correct Answer: A = Rs. 33,600 B = Rs. 33,480
Solution : Selling price of A = Rs. 36000 Total discount by A = $20000 \times \frac{8}{100}+16000 \times \frac{5}{100}$ = 1600 + 800 = Rs. 2400 $\therefore$ Actual price charged by A = Rs. 36000 − Rs. 2400 = Rs. 33600 Actual price charged by B = Rs. $36000\times \frac{100−7}{100}= 36000\times \frac{93}{100}$ = Rs. 33480 Hence, the correct answer is A = Rs. 33600 and B = Rs. 33480.
