Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

₹240

Solution :

The correct option is ₹240.

Step-by-step solution:

1. Calculate the total discount expected on the total price:
The total price of the laptop = ₹48,000.
The required overall discount percentage = 9.5%.
Total discount required = 9.5% of ₹48,000

Total Discount = 9.5 100 × 48000 = 9.5 × 480 = ₹4560

2. Calculate the discount given on the first part (₹28,000):
Discount percentage on the first ₹28,000 = 12%.

First Discount = 12 100 × 28000 = 12 × 280 = ₹3360

3. Calculate the discount given on the second part (₹12,000):
Discount percentage on the next ₹12,000 = 8%.

Second Discount = 8 100 × 12000 = 8 × 120 = ₹960

4. Calculate the sum of the first two discounts given:

Sum of Discounts Given = 3360 + 960 = ₹4320

5. Calculate the remaining discount that Rohan needs to offer on the final ₹8,000:
Remaining discount = Total discount required - Sum of discounts already given

Remaining Discount = 4560 - 4320 = ₹240

Thus, Rohan should offer a discount of ₹240 on the remaining ₹8,000.
