Question

The marked price of a scooter is ₹1,80,000. The shop keeper gave a scheme discount of 4% on ₹1,20,000 and 2.5% on the remaining amount.The selling price (in ₹) of the scooter is :

• A. 137700
• B. 173070
• C. 173700
• D. 177300

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 173700

Marked price = ₹1,80,000

Split the amount

• First part = ₹1,20,000 → discount 4%

• Remaining = ₹1,80,000 − ₹1,20,000 = ₹60,000 → discount 2.5%

  Discount on first part

$\text{Discount}_1 = 4\% \text{ of } 120000 = \frac{4}{100} \times 120000 = 4800$

So, price after discount:
120000 - 4800 = 115200

Discount on second part

$\text{Discount}_2 = 2.5\% \text{ of } 60000 = \frac{2.5}{100} \times 60000 = 1500$

So, price after discount:

60000 - 1500 = 58500

Total selling price

115200 + 58500 = 173700

Final Answer:

₹1,73,700
