Answers and Solution:
1 (b)
Let the number of brand B was n.
If price of one shirt of brand B was Rs. x
so price of n shirts of brand B = Rs. n x
and Price of 4 shirts of brand A = 4*2x = 8x
so original bill = Rs.(8x+nx)
but after interchange the number of the brands the bill = (2nx+4x)
so (8x+nx)*140/100 = (2nx=4x)
so x(8+n)7/5 = x(2n+4) => (8+n)*7 = (2n+4)*5
so 56+7n = 10n+20 => 3n = 36 => n=12
so Ratio between A and B = 4:12 = 1:3

If the marked price of an article is x
Then selling price = Rs.3x/4
so cost price*125/100 = selling price
so cost price*5/4 = 3x/4 => cost price = 3x/5
so marked price : cost price = x : 3x/5 = 1: 3/5 = 5:3

Let the number of brand B was n.
If price of one shirt of brand B was Rs. x
so price of n shirts of brand B = Rs. n x
and Price of 4 shirts of brand A = 4*2x = 8x
so original bill = Rs.(8x+nx)
but after interchange the number of the brands the bill = (2nx+4x)
so (8x+nx)*140/100 = (2nx=4x)
so x(8+n)7/5 = x(2n+4) => (8+n)*7 = (2n+4)*5
so 56+7n = 10n+20 => 3n = 36 => n=12
so Ratio between A and B = 4:12 = 1:3
2 (a)
If the marked price of an article is x
Then selling price = Rs.3x/4
so cost price*125/100 = selling price
so cost price*5/4 = 3x/4 => cost price = 3x/5
so marked price : cost price = x : 3x/5 = 1: 3/5 = 5:3
