Farm Tax is levied on the 60% of the cultivated Land. The tax department collected total $ 3840 through the farm Tax from the village of Mr. willam. Mr. willam paid only $ 500 as farm tax. The percentage of total land of Mr. willam over the total taxable land of the village is :
Options
A) 15.502%
B) 25.7014%
C) 12.502%
D) 21.7014%
E) none
Only trick n this question is to ignore 60% information as farm tax is levied uniformly in the village and that includes Mr William's land.   What percentage of tax Mr William paid ? This will be equal to the percentage of total cultivated land he holds over the total cultivated land in the village. That leads to (500/3840)x100 =13.02083%in percentage terms.   But the question asks ratio between his total land to total cultivated land. Hence the answer is 13.02083%x (100/60) = 21.7014% and the answer is not there in the options.   The correct answer is (21.7014%).
