Solution
\[\text { Let the sale price of the set be Rs . x }\]
\[\text { Given that the VAT charged is 10 % } . \]
\[\text { Cost of the set = x + 10 % of x }\]
\[165 = x + 0 . 10x\]
\[165 = 1 . 10x\]
\[x = \frac{165}{1 . 10}\]
\[x =\text { Rs } . 150\]
\[\text { Thus, the sale price of the set is Rs } . 150 .\]
