1)

Other than getting the discount of 12 % on the estimated cost of furniture and the actual miscellaneous expenditure being Rs10200 instead of the estimated one, the family's estimated cost is correct. What is the total amount spent by the family in renovating its house?


A) 116728

B) 115926

C) 119500

D) 116500

E) None of these

Answer:

Option E

Explanation:

Estimated cost of furniture and miscellaneous expenditure 

= $\left\{\frac{13+8}{100}\times120000\right\}$ = 25200/-

Actual cost of furniture

= $\frac{88}{100}\times\frac{13}{100}\times120000$

= 13728/-

Actual cost of furniture and miscellaneous expenditure =

 (13728 + 10200) = 23928/-.

Total amount spent in renovating the house = (120000 - 25200 + 23928) =  118728/-.
