Correct Answer: Rs.28,900


Solution : Value of Stock Taken over M = 50000*40% = Rs.20000

Less : Amount of Discount  = Rs.20000*15% = Rs.3000

                                                                   A = 17000

Value of Machine Taken over by M  = 20000*70% = 14000

Less : Amount of Discount =             14000*15% = 2100

                                                                   B =  11900

Total Value of Asset Taken over by M = (A+B) 

                                                               = 17000 + 11900

                                                               =  28900

Hence the correct answer is option 3.
