Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Rs.1,167.

Given that 

A shopkeeper charges Rs.1.50 to photocopy a sheet of paper

The charges of 400 sheets of paper = 400 * 1.5 = 600 Rs

The cost after giving discounts of 5.5% for the next 400 pages 

= 600 * 94.5/100 = 567

Hence, The cost to photocopy 800 sheets of paper = 600 + 567 = 1167 Rs
