    D 51040 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Tax paid = 25200 (8% of the taxable income)  Shown income = (25200 × 100)/8 = 315000  Amount hid = 9/44 of original income.  Shown income = 35/44 × original taxable income  Original Taxable income = (44/35) × 315000 = 396000  Tax = 12.5% × 396000 = Rs. 49500
