24 September 2010 Hi Naveen, the answer is :
let the total commission be X
Now, X = 1,40,000 x 2% + 20%{(1,40,000-X)-2,00,000x3/5}
X = 2,800 + 20%(1,40,000-X-1,20,000)
X = 2,800 + 20%(20,000-X)
X = 2,800 +4,000-.20X
X+.20X = 6,800
1.2X = 6,800
X = 6,800/1.2
X = 5,667
If u hv any further doubt, revert back to me.
