Question:

Selling price of a shirt and a coat is Rs.4000. The cost price of the shirt is 58.33% of the cost price of the coat and the amount of profit on both, the shirt and the coat, is same, then the price of the shirt could be:

Options:
A) Rs.2100 
B) Rs.2525  
C) Rs.2499
D) Rs.1120
Solution:
Ans: (d)


Alternate method

 The cost price of shirt will be less than the cost price of coat. Hence, on going through options, we can conclude that option (d), i.e., Rs 1120 is the correct option.

select the option which gives less than Rs.4000 which is SP.
Therefore, if 1120 option is given, 58.33 = 58 + (1/3) = 175/3
1120*(300/175) = 1920
CP = 1920+1120 = 3040
SP = 4000
So, 4000>3040
Other option does not satisfy this condition.
