- A25%
- B75%
- C20%
- D80%
Step-by-Step Solution
The 25% was added TO the food value, so the food value satisfies , giving = ₹2,400 and a service charge of ₹600. As a share of the bill that is 600/3000 = 20%. 25% is the star trap: that rate belongs to the smaller base (the food value), not to the bill. If you wrongly take the charge as 25% OF the bill you get ₹750 and a food value of 75% - hence those two options. 80% is the food value's true share of the bill.
Answer: C) 20%
