Given that: Income of a person is Rs. 50,000. He pays income tax at the rate of 15%.
We know that
If r % tax is paid on Rs. P, principle amount then the tax amount to be paid is $\dfrac{{p \times r}}{{100}}$.
For the given problem, the principal amount is Rs. 50,000 and rate is 15%.
Amount of income tax:
$= \dfrac{{p \times r}}{{100}} \\ = \dfrac{{50000 \times 15}}{{100}} \\ = 500 \times 15 \\ = Rs.7500 \\$
Hence, the amount of income tax is Rs. 7500.
So, option B is the correct option.
