Solution:
Varun spent money on purchasing and altering his new car = Rs. 900000
Spent 7% on speakers and woofers =>
7% of 900000
(7/100) * 900000
63000
Spent 5% on alloy wheels =>
5% of 900000
(5/100) * 900000
45000
Spent 2% on insurance =>
2% of 900000
(2/100) * 900000
18000
Spent 4% on repainting =>
4% of 900000
(4/100) * 900000
36000
Spent 9% on interiors =>
9% of 900000
(9/100) * 900000
81000
Actual cost of the car = Total cost - Altering of car i.e. speakers and woofers, allow wheels, insurance, repainting, interiors
Actual cost of the car = 900000 - (63000 + 45000 + 18000 + 36000 + 81000)
Actual cost of the car = 900000 - 243000
Actual cost of the car = Rs. 657000
Now, it says Road tax is included in actual cost of car,
Road Tax charged = 10%
Road Tax Amount = 10% of 657000 = (10/100) * 657000 = Rs. 65700
The amount of Road Tax is B) Rs. 65700
