A salesman is allowed 11/2% discount on the total sales made by him plus a bonus of 1/2% on the sales over Rs. 10,000. If his total earningswere Rs. 1990, then his total sales (in Rs.) were:
1. 60,000
2. 42,000
3. 34,000
4. 35,000

• 1990 > 550 = 11/2% of 10,000 hence sales is more than 10,000 giving
  5.5S + 0.5(S -- 10,000) = 1990*100 whence
  S = [1990*100 + 0.5*10,000] / (5.5 + 0.5) = 34,000 ANSWER
