SSC Stenographer 2025 PYQ — Question 51

SSC Stenographer - 07 Aug 2025 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q51

A product priced at INR 500 gets a 20% discount then a 5% tax on the discounted price. What is the final price?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Original Price = ₹500

Discount = 20%

Tax = 5%

Price after Discount = Original Price × (1 − 20/100)

Final Price = Discounted Price × (1 + 5/100)

Price after Discount = 500 × 0.80 = 400

Final Price = 400 × 1.05 = ₹420
