D Correct answer
Explanation

First, apply the 15% discount: 45000 * 0.85 = 38250. Then, apply the 12% sales tax to the discounted price: 38250 * 1.12 = 42840.

AI explanation

The marked price of the television is Rs. 45,000, and a 15% discount reduces the price to 45000 * 0.85 = 38250. Atharv then pays a 12% sales tax on this discounted price, calculated as 38250 * 0.12 = 4590. The final amount paid is the discounted price plus the tax, 38250 + 4590 = Rs. 42,840.
