• A. Rs. 1875
• B. Rs. 2125
• C. Rs. 2000
• D. Rs. 2700

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To determine the commission an agent receives for selling goods worth Rs. 15,000, we need to use the formula for calculating commission based on a percentage. The commission percentage is missing from the question; hence, we need to assume it to identify the correct option from those given.

Let's assume the commission percentage as x.

The formula for commission is:

Commission = (Commission Rate × Total Sales Value) / 100

Given the options and the correct commission amount is Rs. 1875, substituting the values, we analyze:

1875 = (x × 15000) / 100

Simplifying, we find:

1875 × 100 = x × 15000

x = (187500 / 15000)

x = 12.5

This calculation reveals that the commission rate is 12.5%.

Therefore, when the agent sells goods worth Rs. 15,000, with a commission rate of 12.5%, he earns Rs. 1875 as commission, which is the correct choice from the given options.
