    Solution

    Given, Selling price of the article at shop P = 1200 ×(100-d)/100  × 75/100. Selling price of the article at shop Q = X ×90/100  × 80/100 ATQ –  (X ×(90/100) ×(80/100))/(1200 ×(100-d)/100 ×(75/100))= X/800 d = 36 From (I)  d2= 362 = 1296 1296 is completely divisible by 24. From (II) d= 36 36 is multiple of both 12 and 3 From (II)  d=36 (36/100)×750=270
