  1. A salesman is allowed 5
    1
    % discount on the total
    2
    sales made
    by him plus a bonus of
    1
    % on sales
    2
    over ₹ 10,000. If his total earnings were ₹ 1,990, his total sales (in ₹ ) was
    1. 30,000
    2. 32,000
    3. 34,000
    4. 35,000
Correct Option: C

Let the salesman’s total sales be (10000 + x)
According to the question,

10000 ×
11
% + x × 6% = 1990
2

⇒ 5000 × 11% + 6x% = 1990
⇒ 5000 × 11 + 6x = 199000
⇒ 6x = 199000 – 55000
⇒ 6x = 144000
⇒  x =
144000
= 24000
6

∴  The required sales
= 24000 + 10000 = ₹ 34,000
