Let, the cost of car is 100x
After 50% of import duty it is 150 x
After additional supplementary tax of 30%, 150x+(15x*3)=195x
Extra 195x-100x=95x
As per condition 95x=285000
Therefore, x=3000
So cost x*100=3,00,000
Answer is A
After 50% of import duty it is 150 x
After additional supplementary tax of 30%, 150x+(15x*3)=195x

Therefore, x=3000
So cost x*100=3,00,000

Let initial cost of the car be C.
Import duty is 50% of its cost = C/2
Supplementary Tax = 30% of cost and import duty = (30/100)(C + C/2) = (3/10)(3C/2) = 9C/20
Import duty + Supplementary tax = 285000
C/2 + 9C/20 = 285000
19C/20 = 285000
C = 300000
Answer: A
Import duty is 50% of its cost = C/2
Supplementary Tax = 30% of cost and import duty = (30/100)(C + C/2) = (3/10)(3C/2) = 9C/20
Import duty + Supplementary tax = 285000
C/2 + 9C/20 = 285000
19C/20 = 285000
C = 300000
Answer: A
