    B 4.08% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6.2% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Second shirt- Cost price (C2) Selling price (SP = 0.97C2)   First shirt- Selling price (S₁ = 1.94C2) Cost price (C₁ =1.94C2/1.08 ≈ 1.796C2)   Total cost price: C1+C2=1.796C2+C2 = 2.796C2 Total selling price: S1+S2 =1.94C2+0.97C2 = 2.91C2   Overall profit: =2.91C2 - 2.796C2 = 0.114C2   Overall percentage profit- =0.114C2 / 2.796C2 × 100 = 4.08%
