Question

Hasan buys two kinds of cloth materials for school uniforms, shirt material that costs him ₹50 per metre and trouser material that costs him ₹90 per metre. For every 3 meters of the shirt material he buys 2 metres of the trouser material. He sells the materials at 12% and 10% profit respectively. His total sale is ₹36,600. How much trouser material did he buy?​

Answer 1

Answer:

200 Meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let material bought for trousers and shirts be 2x meters and 3x meters respectively.

Cost price of 2x metres of trouser material at Rs. 90 per metre =Rs(90×2x)=Rs180x and

Cost price of 3x metres of shirt material at Rs. 50 per metre =Rs(50×3x)=Rs150x

Given, profit in case of shirt material = 12%

∴ Its S.P. =Rs(150×112/100 )=Rs168x

Also, profit in case of trouser material = 10%

∴ Its S.P. =Rs(180×110/100 )=198x

∴ Total selling price =Rs.(168x+198x)

=Rs.366x

But the total selling price is given as Rs. 36600.

∴366x=36600

x= 3660 × 10 / 366

x= 10 × 10

x=100

Thus, the trouser material purchased

=2×100m

=200m
