Answer:
Profit for selling one shirt = Rs100
Loss for selling one Jacket = Rs50
Therefore Loss for selling 10 Jackets = Rs 50 × 10
= Rs 500
But The incurred Loss is Rs 200
Therefore the profit obtained for selling shirts = Rs 500 - Rs 200
Profit Obtained = Rs 300
So, No. of shirts he sold in a day = Rs 300 / 100
= 3
No. of shirts he sold in a day = 3
