A shopkeeper buys a TV from a manufacturer at a discount of 20% of the listed price of ₹ 54,000 and sells it to a customer at the listed price. The sales are intra-state and the rate of GST is 18%.

Assertion (A): The tax (under GST) received by the State Government is ₹ 4,860.

Reason (R): For intra-state sales, GST is divided equally among State Government and the Central government.

  1. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

  2. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

  3. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) is the correct reason for Assertion (A).

  4. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) is incorrect reason for Assertion (A).

Answer

Listed Price = ₹ 54,000

As the sales are intra-state and the rate of GST is 18%, so GST comprises of 9% as CGST and 9% as SGST.

So, reason (R) is true.

amount of GST collected by shopkeeper from consumer(or paid by consumer):

CGST = 9% of 54000 = 9100\dfrac{9}{100} x 54000 = 4860

SGST = 9% of 54000 = 9100\dfrac{9}{100} x 54000 = 4860

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

Thus, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and reason (R) is the correct reason for Assertion (A).

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
