Question

Answer

Calculation:
Given:
Cost price of a Rs. 100 stock = Rs. 100
Discount = 4%
Brokerage = 1/5%

Step 1: Calculate the discount amount
Discount = (Discount % / 100) * Cost price
= (4 / 100) * 100
= Rs. 4

Step 2: Calculate the selling price after discount
Selling price = Cost price - Discount
= Rs. 100 - Rs. 4
= Rs. 96

Step 3: Calculate the brokerage amount
Brokerage = (Brokerage % / 100) * Selling price
= (1/5 / 100) * 96
= (1/500) * 96
= Rs. 0.192

Step 4: Calculate the final selling price after deducting brokerage
Final selling price = Selling price - Brokerage
= Rs. 96 - Rs. 0.192
= Rs. 95.808

Therefore, the cost price of a Rs. 100 stock at 4% discount, when brokerage is 1/5% is Rs. 95.808. However, since the options provided are rounded to two decimal places, the closest option is Rs. 96.20 (option B).
