Total sale × + 2700 = 18325
1. (A) ATQ, 8% of N.I = 17% of I.T. 16
 Total sale = 15,625 × 16 = ` 2,50,000
N.I. 17 8. (C) ATQ,

I.T. 8 Let he gets 10% commission on total sale
As we know 2
total income = I.T. + N.I.  10% of total sale = 7600 + 20,000 ×

8 = ` 8000
 Rate of I.T. % = × 100 = 32%

2. (C) ATQ, 1% of N.I = 19% of I.T. So, Total sale = × 100 = ` 80,000

N.I. 19 9. (D) ATQ,
  Let he gets 20% commission on total sale.

As we know 25, 000 6
 20% of total sale = 12,500 +
total income = I.T. + N.I. 100
1 = ` 14,000
 Rate of I.T. % = × 100 = 5%

3. (A) ATQ, So, Total sale = × 100 = ` 70,000
3% of N.I = 22% of I.T. 20

N.I. 22 10. (A) ATQ,

  Let he gets 10% commission of total sale.
I.T. 3
As we know 10, 000 1
So, 90% of total sale = 45,100 –
total income = I.T. + N.I. 100

 Rate of I.T. % = × 100 = 12% 45000
