Detailed Solution

Given that, list price=Rs.2563, rate of value added tax = 10%.
Let the reduced price excluding value-added tax of the cooler be Rs.X.
Therefore,

⇒ reduced price × rate of value added tax 100 ⇒ X × 10 100 ⇒ 10 X 100 ⇒ Rs .0 .1 X

Now,

⇒ Reduced price = list price − value added tax ⇒ Rs . X =Rs .2563 − Rs .0 .1 X Reduced price = Rs . X ⇒ Rs .1 .1 X =Rs .2563 ⇒ X = 2563 1.1 = Rs .2330

Therefore, the discount price is Rs.2563-Rs.2330=Rs.233
Hence, the discount allowed in the price of the cooler is Rs.233.
Therefore, option (3) is correct.
