`Rs. 5400``Rs. 4000``Rs. 4500``Rs. 6500`

Answer : A

Solution : Let price without VAT in rupees is `x`.<br> Then, Vat in rupees`= x**8/100 = (2x)/25` <br> so, `x+(2x)/25 = 5400=> 27x = 5400**25`<br> `x = 200*25 = 5000`<br> So, price before VAT is `5000` Rs.

Question 20 Exercise 8.2

Answer:

Solution:

C.P. = Rs.5,400 and Rate of VAT = 8%

Let C.P. without VAT is Rs. 100, then price including VAT = 100 + 8 = Rs.108

\because When price including VAT is Rs.108, then original price = Rs.100

\therefore When price including VAT is Rs.1, then original price = \frac{100}{108}

\therefore When price including VAT is Rs.5400, then original price = \frac{100}{108}\times5400=Rs.\ 5000

Solution:

Price of a hairdryer with VAT = ₹ 5400

VAT% = 8%

Let the initial price of the hairdryer be ₹ x

Price of hairdryer with VAT is ₹ 5400

VAT % = 8%

VAT = 8% of the initial price of hairdryer

So, the initial price of hairdryer + VAT = 5400

x + 8% × x = 5400

x + (8x/100) = 5400

(108x/100) = 5400

x = 5400 × (100/108)

x = ₹ 5000
