    A shopkeeper lists the price of an article is Rs. 500. But he gives a certain discount which allows the buyer to pay Rs. 500 for the article including 10% sales tax. The rate of discount is

    A) 10%                             

    B) \[10\frac{1}{11}%\]

    C) \[9\frac{1}{11}%\]        

    D) 11%

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the SP be Rs. x (without tax). \[\therefore \]      \[x+x\times \frac{10}{100}=Rs.\,500\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{11x}{10}=500\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=Rs.\frac{5000}{11}\] \[\therefore \]      Discount \[=500-\frac{5000}{11}=\frac{500}{11}\] Discount per cent             \[=\frac{500}{11\times 500}\times 100=\frac{100}{11}=9\frac{1}{11}%\]
