  1. $Rs.\ 5000$

  2. $Rs.\ 3000$

  3. $Rs.\ 6500$

  4. $Rs.\ 2000$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Let the cost be Rs $x$
VAT $= 10 \%$
Cost including VAT $= Rs. 7150 = x + 10 \%$ of $x$
$7150 = x + \cfrac{10}{100} \times x$
$7150 = \cfrac{110}{100} x$
$x = Rs. 6500$
Thus, original cost of the furniture is $Rs. 6500$

  1. $700.40$

  2. $800.20$

  3. $829.20$

  4. $869.20$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Let the profit of the retailer $=$ Rs. $x$

As the VAT paid by the shopkeeper is Rs. $4.80$ and rate of sales tax is $6\%$, then $6\%$ of $x$ $=4.80$.
$\Rightarrow \dfrac {6}{100}\times x=4.80$
$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac {480}{6}=80$
Now, profit of the retailer $=900-80=$ Rs. $820$
Sales tax paid by the retailer $=6\%$ of Rs. $820=\dfrac {6}{100}\times 820=$ Rs.$49.20$.
So, price of the article including sales tax paid by the retailer $=820+49.20=$ Rs. $869.20$.
Therefore, the money paid for purchasing the article is Rs. $869.20$.

  1. $470$

  2. $520$

  3. $670$ 

  4. $680$

  5. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\Rightarrow$  Cost of article $= Rs. 10,000$.

$\Rightarrow$  Tax paid by Shyam $= 7\%$ of Rs. $10,000$
$\Rightarrow$  Tax paid by Shyam = $\dfrac{7}{100}\times 10000=Rs.700$
$\Rightarrow$  Selling price of the article  $=$ Rs. $13,000$
$\Rightarrow$  Tax charged at $9\% = 9\%$ of $13,000$
$\Rightarrow$  Tax charged at $9\% = \dfrac{9}{100}\times 13000=$ Rs. $1170$
$\Rightarrow$  VAT = Tax recovered on sale - Tax paid on purchase
$\Rightarrow$  VAT $= 1170 - 700$
$\therefore$   $VAT=Rs.470$

  2. 12%

  3. 13%

  4. 14%

Show answer

Let the rate of Sales Tax be $x$%
Now, the rate of Sales Tax will be$=\dfrac { x }{ 100 } \times 12000=120x$
Price including sales tax$=13440$
$\Rightarrow 12000+120x=13440$
 $\Rightarrow 120x=1440$
$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac { 1440 }{ 120 } =12$
So the rate of sales tax is $12$%
