Answer

From Question 1:
Selling price of the spectacles for retailer or cost price of the article for consumer = ₹1650

As the sales are intra-state and the rate of GST is 12%, so GST comprises of 6% as CGST and 6% as SGST. Retailer sells the spectacles to consumer for ₹1650, amount of GST collected by retailer from consumer (or paid by consumer):

CGST = 6% of 1650 = 6100\dfrac{6}{100} x 1650 = ₹99

SGST = 6% of 1650 = 6100\dfrac{6}{100} x 1650 = ₹99

∴ The cost of spectacles to the consumer including of tax is

= Cost price of spectacles for consumer + CGST paid by consumer + SGST paid by consumer
= 1650+99+99=1650 + 99+99= ₹1848\bold{1848}

∴ Option 4 is the correct option.
