Given,

S.P. = ₹ 1,200

Sales tax = 20%

Bill amount = S.P. + Tax amount

= ₹ 1,200 + 20% of 1,200

= ₹ 1,200 + 20100\dfrac{20}{100} x 1,200

= ₹ 1,200 + 20 x 12

= ₹ 1,200 + ₹ 240

= ₹ 1,440

So, assertion (A) is true.

Bill amount = S.P. + Sale tax amount

= S.P. + Rate of sale tax100\dfrac{\text{Rate of sale tax}}{100} x S.P.

= S.P.(1+Rate of sales tax100)S.P.\Big(1 + \dfrac{\text{Rate of sales tax}}{100}\Big)

So, reason (R) is true and reason (R) clearly explains assertion (A).

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
