Option 1: Rs. 18,500
Option 2: Rs. 18,000
Option 3: Rs. 16,000
Option 4: Rs. 20,000
Correct Answer: Rs. 18,000
Solution : Let the price Swati bought the bag be $x$. According to the question, $x×\frac{100+15}{100}×\frac{100+20}{100}=24840$ $⇒x×\frac{115}{100}×\frac{120}{100}=24840$ $\therefore x =18000$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 18,000.
