Question:

Ajay booked a flight ticket that cost him total 2774 only that included Rs. 200 online booking charges, convenience charges and taxes together with 25% of base fare and SGST and CGST 9% of base fare, then what is the base fare of the flight ?

Options:

1800

2400

1600

1200

Correct Answer:

1800

Explanation:

Let the base fare = 100 x

100 x + 25 x + 9 x + 9 x = 2774 - 200

 143 x = 2574

  x =  \(\frac{2574}{143}\)

 100x =  \(\frac{2574}{143}\) × 100

  100 x = 1800 Rs. ( base fare )

Confusion point is SGST = 9%

                            CGST = 9%
