Correct Answer: 4



Hint : Total Commission

Total Cost 1,00,000

Cost of Goods sold(3/5 of 1,00,000) C.P 60,000

Sales Value S.P 70,000

Profit =(S.P-C.P) (70,000-60,000) 10,000

Let the Total Commission be " x "

Fixed Commission = 2 % of 70,000 1,400

Variable Commission = 10 % of (Profit - Total Commission)

10%(10,000- x ) = 1000 - . 10 x Equation -I

Variable Commission = Total Commission - Fixed Commission.

x-1,400 Equation -I I

Hence from equation I & I I, we get

x - 1,400 = 1,000 - .10x

1.10 x = 2400

Therefore x = 2400/ 1.10 = 2,181 .

Total Commission = 2,181 . Option (4)
