He cleared both the bills this time and paid the total amount in cash.

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. There are two bills:
   - Bill on 10 November 2019: ₹9,800
   - Bill on 19 November 2019: ₹5,480

2. Discounts offered:
   - 2% discount on payments done within 10 days
   - 5% discount for payments made in cash at the time of purchase

3. Payment dates and discounts:
   - For the bill dated 10 November 2019, payment is made on 19 November 2019.
     - Number of days between 10 Nov and 19 Nov = 9 days
     - Since payment is within 10 days, 2% discount applies.

- For the bill dated 19 November 2019, payment is made on the same day.
     - Payment made in cash at the time of purchase, so 5% discount applies.

4. Calculate the amount to be paid after discount for each bill:

- For 10 Nov bill:
     Discount = 2% of ₹9,800 = $0.02 \times 9800 = ₹196$
     Amount paid = ₹9,800 - ₹196 = ₹9,604

- For 19 Nov bill:
     Discount = 5% of ₹5,480 = $0.05 \times 5480 = ₹274$
     Amount paid = ₹5,480 - ₹274 = ₹5,206

5. Total amount paid on 19 November 2019:

$$ 9,604 + 5,206 = ₹14,810 $$

**Answer:** ₹14,810
