If the toll is to be collected through an outsourced agency by allowing a maximum 10% commission, how much amount should be permitted to be collected by the outsourced agency, so that the project is supported with Rs. 4910 crores?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Amount permitted | = (Funds required from Toll for projects of Phase II) + (10% of these funds) |
| = Rs. 4910 crores + Rs. (10% of 4910) crores | |
| = Rs. (4910 + 491) crores | |
| = Rs. 5401 crores. |

4910 * 100/90 = 5455.55crores.
90% of 5455.55 crore is 4910 crores.
90% of 5455.55 crore is 4910 crores.

See, NHAI wants 4910 crores.
If you consider this as 90% and 10 % commission then it will mean that commission agency is getting commission on 4910 crores that is 9 percent as Well as commission on it's own commission 1 percent.

If I understand well, It means there will be a 10% commission provision to keep the support at 4910. After the 10% is removed, the number must not reduce. 10% provision will mean adding 10% value to the existing value.

I have calculated the same way as @Kikelomo, can you please resolve the confusion?

I am slightly confused.
You say the outsourced agency collects 10% commission therefore leaving the project with 90% of the total funds collected.
Therefore if the project needs to be supported with 4910 crores, doesn't this imply that of the total funds collected 90% of it should go to the project therefore
90%=4910
so the 100% value should be 4910/.9 = 5455.55 crores.
Your answer of 5401 crores means that after 10% is collected, the remaining value is 4860.9.
I apologise if my answer is incorrect but based on the question this is the result I came too and hence why I'm deeply puzzled.
Thanks.
