1. the amount paid by the Mr Gupta for the delux room is:
   1. ₹ 1700
   2. ₹ 1792
   3. ₹ 1800
   4. ₹ 1850
2. the extra GST Mr Gupta paid for the delux room is:
   1. ₹ 257
   2. ₹ 280
   3. ₹ 300
   4. ₹ 425

Answer 1

i. Since, delux room costs for ₹ 1,400, thus GST charged will be 28%.

GST = `28/100 xx 1400`

GST = ₹ 392

Amount paid by Mr. Gupta for the delux room = ₹ 1,400 + ₹ 392

= ₹ 1,792

Hence, option b is the correct option.

ii. Cost of semidelux room = ₹ 750

Rate of GST for semidelux room = 18%

GST for semidelux room = `18/100 xx 750`

GST for semidelux room = ₹ 135

From part (i),

GST for delux room = ₹ 392

Extra GST Mr. Gupta paid for the delux room = ₹ 392 – ₹ 135

= ₹ 257

Hence, option a is the correct option.
