Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Rs 6,000.
The 2% of the total electricity bill paid by Rajiv = Rs 40
Thus, the total electricity bill = (100/2) × 40 = Rs 2000
The 2% of the total electricity bill paid by Rachna = Rs 80
Thus, the total electricity bill of Rachna = (100/2) × 80 = Rs 4000
Sum of the electricity bills of both Rajiv and Rachna = Rs 2000 + Rs 4000 = Rs 6000
