2. 4355
3. 4750
4. 4700
5.  None of the above. 

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 4750

Given:

(i) Discount = 20%

(ii) GST = 8%

(iii) Customer payed = Rs. 4104

Calculations:

Let marked price be x

⇒ Then Discount = 80/100 = 8/10

⇒Total Price including GST =

⇒ [(8x/10) + (8/100 × 8x/10)]

⇒ 8x/18 + 8/125

⇒ 108x/125

∴ 108x/125 = 4104

⇒ X = 4750

Marked Price is Rs.4750.
