B2,19,000
C2,19,450Correct
D2,20,000

Answer: C. 2,19,450

Explanation

Marked price = Rs. 2,10,000 Discount % = 5% 5 => Selling price = 2, 10, 000 − ( 100 × 2, 10, 000) = 2, 10, 000 − 10, 500 = Rs. 1, 99, 500 Sales tax = 10% 10 ∴ Total amount to be paid = 1, 99, 500 + ( 100 × 1, 99, 500) = 1, 99, 500 + 19, 950 = Rs. 2, 19, 450
