The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the selling prices of both Abhishek and Bhanu and then find the difference between the two. ### Step 1: Calculate the discount given by Abhishek Abhishek gives a discount of 10% on the whole price of the scooter. - Price of the scooter = Rs. 28,000 - Discount = 10% of Rs. 28,000 \[ \text{Discount} = \frac{10}{100} \times 28000 = 2800 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the selling price of Abhishek To find the selling price, we subtract the discount from the original price. \[ \text{Selling Price of Abhishek} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} \] \[ \text{Selling Price of Abhishek} = 28000 - 2800 = 25200 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the discount given by Bhanu Bhanu gives a discount of 12% on the first Rs. 20,000 and 8% on the remaining Rs. 8,000. 1. Discount on the first Rs. 20,000: \[ \text{Discount on first 20000} = \frac{12}{100} \times 20000 = 2400 \] 2. Discount on the remaining Rs. 8,000: \[ \text{Discount on remaining 8000} = \frac{8}{100} \times 8000 = 640 \] 3. Total discount given by Bhanu: \[ \text{Total Discount} = 2400 + 640 = 3040 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the selling price of Bhanu To find the selling price, we subtract the total discount from the original price. \[ \text{Selling Price of Bhanu} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Total Discount} \] \[ \text{Selling Price of Bhanu} = 28000 - 3040 = 24960 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the difference between the selling prices Now, we find the difference between the selling prices of Abhishek and Bhanu. \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Selling Price of Abhishek} - \text{Selling Price of Bhanu} \] \[ \text{Difference} = 25200 - 24960 = 240 \] ### Final Answer The difference between their selling prices is Rs. 240. ---
