SOLUTION

TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT OPTION

Selling price of shoes is Rs 420 including 5% GST. The original price of the shoes is ___

a) Rs 442

b) Rs 400

c) Rs 401.50

d) Rs 420

EVALUATION

Let original price of the shoes = Rs 100x

Now GST = 5%

Amount of GST = Rs 5x

Selling price of shoes

= Rs 100x + Rs 5x

= Rs 105x

So by the given condition

105x = 420

⇒ x = 4

The original price of the shoes

= Rs 100x

= Rs ( 100 × 4 )

= Rs 400

FINAL ANSWER

Hence the correct option is b) Rs 400
