  4. $105$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Value of shares sold = $30350$
Brokerage =$0.1%$
$\therefore$ brokerage  value =$\cfrac{0.1}{100}\times30350$
= $303.5/10$=$30.35$
Value of shares purchased =$69650$
Brokerage =$0.1%$
$ \text {brokerage value} =\cfrac{0.1}{100}\times69650$
=$696.5/10$
=$69.65$
$\therefore$ total  brokerage  value =$(30.35+69.65)$
=$Rs 100$
$G. S. T$= $18%$ of brokerage  value 
$\therefore$ amount of gst = $\cfrac{18}{100}\times100$
=$18$
$\therefore$  total amount of brokerage +gst =$100$+$18$
=$118$.
