A) Rs. 80 B) Rs. 120 C) Rs. 70 D) Rs. 100

Answer 1

Answer:

₹80

Step-by-step explanation:

The servant worked for 9 days instead of 12 days, he should receive 9/12 of his total payment

Let the price of 1 shirt be Rs. S  

i.e., 3/4 (400 + S).

However, the question states that the servant receive Rs. 280 + S where S is the price of the shirt.

By equating the two equations we get

3/4 (400 + S)

= 280 + S.

Therefore,

Price of the shirt S = ₹ 80.
