The correct Answer is:
To find the commission charged by the property dealer for selling a plot of land for Rs 130,000, we will break down the calculation into two parts based on the commission rates provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Calculate the commission on the first Rs 25,000.** - The commission rate for the first Rs 25,000 is 2%. - Commission = 2% of Rs 25,000 - Commission = (2/100) × 25,000 = Rs 500 **Step 2: Calculate the remaining amount after the first Rs 25,000.** - Total amount = Rs 130,000 - Amount remaining after Rs 25,000 = Rs 130,000 - Rs 25,000 = Rs 105,000 **Step 3: Calculate the commission on the remaining amount (Rs 105,000).** - The commission rate for the remaining amount is 1.5%. - Commission = 1.5% of Rs 105,000 - Commission = (1.5/100) × 105,000 = Rs 1,575 **Step 4: Add the two commissions together to find the total commission.** - Total commission = Commission on first Rs 25,000 + Commission on remaining Rs 105,000 - Total commission = Rs 500 + Rs 1,575 = Rs 2,075 ### Final Answer: The total commission charged by the property dealer for selling the plot of land for Rs 130,000 is **Rs 2,075**. ---
