    A 1:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 4:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1:6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the number of Levis shirts ordered = x piece & Price of per Blackberry shirt = Rs 2a per unit Then, price of per Levis shirt = Rs a per unit According to the question, (6a + 2a x ) = (2a × 6 + a x ) × 140/100 30a + 10ax = 84a + 7ax Therefore, x = 18 Required answer = 6 : 18 = 1 : 3
