Answer:
let ratio between shirt material and trouser material be 3x:2x
the cost of shirt material=50*3x
the selling price at 12%gain=100+p%/100* c.p.=100+12/100*150x
the cost of trouser material=90*2x=180x
the selling price at 12%gain=100*p%/100*
c.p.=100+10/100*180x=110/100*180x=198x
according to the question,168x+198x=36,600
=>366x=36,600
=>x=36,600/366=100meters
now,trouser material=2x=2*100=200meters
hence,hasan bought 200meters of the trouser material.
