The answer is C because it is stated that we have to add the average of 1%of Annual income and 100 USD to 2% of annual income.

"Average of 100 units and one percent of annual income" does sounds very confusing...
Anyways, this means: (100 + I/100)/2

Tax = (100 + I/100)/2 + 2I/100 = 50 + I/200 + 2I/100
= 50 + I/40

I have this one:

2I/100 + (100+I/100)/2 = 2I/100+50+I/200=I/40 + 50

Average is for: 100 of Country R's currency and 1% of the income.

[b]Ans: C

Agreed! I had to read this three times before I got what it was trying to say. Whoever wrote this piece of crap isn't thinking straight. :evil:
