Solution

A TV set was bought for Rs 26,250 including 5% VAT. The original price of the TV set is Rs 24,937.50.

Explanation:

Cost price of TV set = Rs. 26250.

VAT including = 5%

Original price = Cost price of article including VAT = `26250 - 5/100 xx 26250`

= `26250 - 26250/20`

= 26250 – 1312.50

So, original price of the TV set = Rs. 24937.50

Hence, Rs 24,937.50
