Question Image

Cost price of 2 pair shoes is Rs.

2 × 800 =

Rs.1600.
Rate of value added tax for shoes = 5% .
Cost price of 1 sewing machine=Rs.1500.
Rate of value added tax for sewing machine = 6% .
Cost price of 2 tea-sets=Rs.

2 × 650 =

Rs.1300 .
Rate of value added tax for tea-sets = 4%.
Now, for shoes,

⇒ cost price × rate of tax 100 = Rs .1600 × 5 100 ⇒ Rs .8000 100 ⇒ Rs .80

Therefore, the total amount of 2 pair of shoes is Rs.1600+Rs.80 = Rs.1680.
Now, for sewing machine,

Cost price × Rate of tax 100 = Rs .1500 × 6 100 ⇒ Rs .9000 100 ⇒ Rs .90

Therefore, the total amount of 1 sewing machine =Rs.1500+Rs.90=Rs.1590
Now, for tea sets,

Cost price × Rate of tax 100 = Rs .1300 × 4 100 ⇒ Rs .5200 100 ⇒ Rs .52

Thus, the total amount of 2 tea-sets is Rs.1300+Rs.52=Rs.1352
Hence, the total amount Rajat has to pay to the store is (Rs.1680+Rs.1590+Rs.1352) = Rs.4622.
Therefore, option (1) is correct.
