Correct Answer: Rs.28,900


Solution : Value of Stock Taken over M = 50000*40% = Rs.20000

Less : Amount of Discount  = Rs.20000*15% = Rs.3000

A = 17000

Value of Machine Taken over by M  = 20000*70% = 14000

Less : Amount of Discount =             14000*15% = 2100

B =  11900

Total Value of Asset Taken over by M = (A+B)

= 17000 + 11900

=  28900

Hence the correct answer is option 3.
