The cost price of a set of 2 pants + 4 shirts or 1 pant + 6 shirts is Rs. 5,600. A shopkeeper decided to sell them separately. He sells 10 shirts for Rs. 6,000. Find the amount of profit or loss per shirt.

Profit Rs. 1000
Loss Rs. 1000
Profit Rs. 100
Loss Rs. 100

Show answer & explanation

Answer: (D) Loss Rs. 100

Explanation

2 pants + 4 shirts = 1 pant + 6 shirts, so 1 pant = 2 shirts. Then 8 shirts' worth = 5600, so a shirt costs Rs 700. Selling 10 shirts for 6000 means Rs 600 each – a loss of Rs 100 per shirt.
