Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 278125 In original case: Salary for first month = 10000 + 10/100 × (250000 – 150000) = Rs 20000 Salary for 2nd month = 10000 + 10/100 × (300000 – 150000) = Rs 25000 Salary for 3rd month = 10000 + 10/100 × (450000 – 150000) = Rs 40000 Salary for 4th month = 10000 + 10/100 × (500000 – 150000) = Rs 45000 Total salary = 130000 In changed case Salary received as basic pay = 4 × 12000 = Rs 48000 Salary received as commission = 130000 – 48000 = Rs 82000 Commission per month = 82000/4 = Rs 20500 Commission = (Sales – 150000) × 16/100 20500 = (Sales – 150000) × 0.16 128125 = Sales – 150000 ∴ Sales = 278125 |
