The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down: ### Step 1: Calculate the initial discount The builder purchases 25 windows at a total price of Rs. 1,20,000 with a discount of 25%. **Calculation:** - Discount = 25% of Rs. 1,20,000 - Discount = (25/100) * 1,20,000 = Rs. 30,000 ### Step 2: Calculate the price after the initial discount Now, we subtract the discount from the total price to find the price after the discount. **Calculation:** - Price after discount = Total Price - Discount - Price after discount = 1,20,000 - 30,000 = Rs. 90,000 ### Step 3: Apply the additional discount The builder receives an additional discount of Rs. 7,500. We need to subtract this additional discount from the price after the initial discount. **Calculation:** - Final price = Price after discount - Additional discount - Final price = 90,000 - 7,500 = Rs. 82,500 ### Step 4: Calculate the cost of each window Now, we need to find the cost of each window by dividing the final price by the number of windows purchased. **Calculation:** - Cost of each window = Final price / Number of windows - Cost of each window = 82,500 / 25 = Rs. 3,300 ### Final Answer: The cost of each window is Rs. 3,300. ---
