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 Rs. 2,100. The amount (in Rs.) of house tax was:
Option 1: 21,000
Option 2: 17,500
Option 3: 25,000
Option 4: 18,000
Correct Answer: 17,500
Solution :
The reduction of Rs. 2,100 represents 12% of the original house tax amount.
Let the original house tax amount as A.
According to the question,
0.12A = 2100
⇒ A = $\frac{2100}{0.12}$ = Rs. 17,500
Hence, the correct answer is 17,500.
