a country is thought of applying new income tax rule, in which tax has to be paid in fixed and variable rate. for those whose income is 40000 pa has to pay fixed amount and for those whose income is more than 40000 in variable. mr a pays 11550 for 65000 & b 13500 for 85000.for 170000 how much he have to pay

• First we will try to find the rate of variable rate of tax and then the amount of fixed tax.
  The rate of variable tax can be found out by considering the two fiven income.
  The difference between the incomes is Rs.20000 (85000-65000)
  The difference between taxes is Rs.2000 ( 13500-11500)
  
  Mr.B is paying Rs.200 tax more because of his extra income of Rs.2000
  So, tax rate is 10% (2000/20000) for income over Rs.40000
  
  To find the fixed tax, we will consider one of the two persons, lets say A
  He is paying Rs.11500 for an income of Rs.65000
  His income over Rs.40000 is Rs.25000
  For Rs.25000, his tax is Rs.2500
  The fixed tax is Rs.11500 - Rs.2500 = Rs.9000
  
  So, for an income of Rs.170000, the tax will be
  Rs. 9000 for the first Rs.40000 income
  10% of the next income, that is (170000-40000) = 130000, the tax here is Rs.13000
  So, total tax is Rs.22000

• let fix tax x% & variable tax y%
  then
  400x+250y=11550
  and 400x+450y=13500
  subtract 1st eqn from 2nd
  200y=1950
  or y=9.75
  so fixed tax for 40000=400x=11550-250y=9112.5
  for 170000,tax=400x+130000*9.75/100=9112.5+12675=21787.5

• fix tax for 40,000 is 9112.50
  and a 9.75% of exceed amount from 40000.
  hence for 170000 fixed amount is 9112.50 and 9.75% of 130000 is 12675.00, Hence total amount to be paid = Rs 21,787.50 /- (Final Answer)
