Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. ₹22,012.

Ajay bought a mobile price of ₹40,000,

Discounts on range between Rs.20000 to Rs.49999 = 10%

40000 × 10% = Rs.4000

Ajay bought a laptop price of ₹90000

Discounts on range above Rs.80000 = 20%

90000 × 20% = Rs.18000

Ajay bought a mobile cover of price of ₹400

Discounts on mobile accessories = 3%

400 × 3% = Rs.12

Hence, total discount = Rs.4000 + Rs.18000 + Rs.12 = Rs.22012
