• ₹ 2000

• ₹ 20

Answer explanation

The rate of GST is 12%, that means if the price of the article is ₹ 100 the GST will be ₹ 12 Suppose the original price of the article is ₹ 100 Then the price after including GST will be ₹ 100 + ₹ 12 = ₹ 112 We can say that, When selling price is ₹ 112, the original price = ₹ 100 So, when selling price is ₹ 2240, the original price = ₹ (100/112) x 2240 = ₹ 2000
