Correct Answer: Rs. 2,300
Solution :
Discount = 21% of the original amount
Amount to be paid = Rs. 1,817
Amount to be paid = original amount – amount discounted
⇒ Rs 1,817 = original amount – 21% of the original amount
= 79 % of original amount
Original amount = $\frac{1817 × 100}{79}$
= $\frac{181700}{79}$
= Rs. 2,300
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2,300.
