Detailed Solution

Concept- Let 'x' be the TV's initial purchase price.
The cost of Sudha's TV, which is subject to an 8% VAT, is Rs. 13500.
8% is the value added tax on the TV.
Assume that the TV's original purchase price is SP=x.
Now that we are aware of the equation SP+VAT% ×SP=CP
We can therefore write x+8%× x=13500 simply changing the values in the formula.
By resolving this equation further, we obtain
x+8100×x=13500
x+0.08x=13500
1.08x=13500
x=13500 ×100108
x=12500;
As a result, we arrive at the TV's original price of Rs. 12500.
Hence,the right response is "12500 Rs."
