Question

Mohan saves Rs. 30 by getting 5% discount on an article. What is the amount of money paid by him?

  1. A. Rs. 580
  2. B. Rs. 560
  3. C. Rs. 570
  4. D. Rs. 550

Answer

Correct option: C - Rs. 570

Mohan saves Rs. 30 on a 5% discount. This means 5% of the original price = Rs. 30. So the original price = (30 x 100) / 5 = Rs. 600. The amount paid = Original price - Discount = 600 - 30 = Rs. 570. Alternatively: he pays 95% of the original price = 0.95 x 600 = Rs. 570.
