    Solution

    Ramesh purchased items worth ₹9,800 on 10 November 2019 and ₹5,480 on 19 November 2019. He paid both bills on 19 November. Since he paid the 10 November bill within 10 days, he got a 2% discount:
    2% of ₹9,800 = ₹196 → Amount paid = ₹9,800 - ₹196 = ₹9,604 For the 19 November bill, he paid in cash on the same day, so he got a 5% discount:
    5% of ₹5,480 = ₹274 → Amount paid = ₹5,480 - ₹274 = ₹5,206 Total amount paid by Ramesh = ₹9,604 + ₹5,206 = ₹14,810
