A shopkeeper offers 10% discount on an item with marked price Rs. 400. If he charges 10% GST, then the final price of the item is
aRs. 380
bRs. 400
cRs. 396✓ Correct
dMore than one of the above
eNone of the above
Explanation
Given that Marked price (M.P.) of an item = Rs. 400 Price of item after 10% discount = $Rs. 400 - \frac{Rs. 400 \times 10}{100}$ $= Rs. 400 - Rs. 40$ $= Rs. 360$ GST on item = $\frac{360 \times 10}{100} = 36$ Total payable price of item = $Rs. 360 + Rs. 36$ $= Rs. 396$
