Question : If house tax is paid before the due date, one gets a reduction of 12% on the amount of the bill. By paying the tax before the due date, a person got a reduction of INR 2,100. The amount (in INR) of house tax paid was:
Option 1: Rs. 21,000
Option 2: Rs. 15,400
Option 3: Rs. 25,000
Option 4: Rs. 17,500
Correct Answer: Rs. 15,400
Solution :
Total tax amount = $\frac{100}{\text{reduction percentage}} \times$ reduction amount.
= $\frac{100}{12}\times 2100$
= Rs. 17500
Tax Amount paid = total tax amount – reduced amount
= 17500 – 2100
= Rs. 15,400
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 15,400.
