Answer 1

An article which is marked at ₹ 1200 is available at a discount of 20% and the rate of GST is 18%. The amount of SGST is ₹ 86.40.

Explanation:

1. Calculate discounted price:

Discount = `20/100 xx 1200` = 240

SP = 1200 – 240 = 960

2. Calculate total GST:

Total GST = 18% of 960

= `18/100 xx 960`

= 172.80

3. Calculate SGST:

SGST = `172.80/2`

= 86.40

Thus, the amount of SGST is indeed ₹ 86.40.
