    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let, cost price of Shirt be Rs. x. So, markup price = Rs. 1.2x According to question, 1.2x × (0.9 – 0.85) = 2400 0.06x = 2400 x = 2400/0.06 x = Rs. 40000 So, markup price = Rs. 1.2 × 40000 = Rs. 48000 Selling price = 48000 × 0.25 = Rs. 36000 Therefore, required profit/loss = 40000 – 36000 = Rs. 4000 (loss)
