Correct Answer:
D. Rs 78850
To find the total amount, we need to understand that Rs. 7885 represents 10% of the whole. If 10% of the total amount is Rs. 7885, then to find 100% (the total amount), we can multiply Rs. 7885 by 10. The calculation is straightforward: 7885 × 10 = 78850. Therefore, the total amount is Rs. 78850.
- Options like Rs 70050, Rs 59850, and Rs 55850 are incorrect calculations, likely resulting from misinterpreting the percentage or performing incorrect arithmetic operations.
