A Correct answer
Explanation

Statement I: Cost per shirt = 2200/2 = 1100 Rs. Selling price after discount = 1100 + 55 = 1155 Rs. If 1155 is 77% of marked price (after 23% discount), then marked price = 1155/0.77 = 1500 Rs. Statement I alone is sufficient. Statement II doesn't provide enough information to calculate exact marked price.
