  • A6750
  • B2550
  • C3450
  • D3000

Step-by-Step Solution

The savings are equal when 15% of the bill equals ₹450, i.e. bill = ₹3000. (Below ₹3000 the flat ₹450 saves more; above it the 15% does.) ₹2550 is what the shopper actually PAYS at that bill, not the bill itself, and multiplying 450 by 15 instead of dividing gives ₹6750.
Answer: D) 3000
