    him to pay 30% tax if he asked the bill. Sagar manages to get the discount of 16% on the actual saleprice of the hard disk and he paid the shopkeeper Rs. 5040 without tax. Besides he manages to avoid to pay 30% tax on the already discounted price, what is the amount of discount that he would have got?
    A Rs. 2600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 2680 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 2780 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 2760 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let CP = Rs.100, SP (with tax) = Rs.130  New   SP = 100 – 16   = Rs.84   Effective discount = 130 – 84 = Rs.46   So, at SP of 84 ≡ discount = 46   At SP of 5040 ≡ discount = 5040 × 46  /84 = Rs.2760
