Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 58,200.
Expenditure on furniture = (17/100) × 200000 = 34000
Expenditure on electric items = (15/100) × 200000 = 30000
Discounted furniture price = (90/100) × 34000 = 30600
Discounted electric items price = (92/100) × 30000 = 27600
Total amount paid = 30600 + 27600 = 58200
Therefore, the total amount paid by Ravi for furniture and electric items is ₹58,200.
