Explanation

Statement I: If sold for Rs 90 with 20% profit, then cost price = 90/1.20 = Rs 75. From this, selling at Rs 100 gives profit = Rs 25. Statement II: Profit is one-third of cost price, so profit = CP/3, and SP = CP + CP/3 = 4CP/3 = 100, giving CP = Rs 75 and profit = Rs 25. However, Statement I assumes the 20% profit scenario refers to selling at Rs 90, while Statement II describes a different scenario entirely. The statements give inconsistent information about the cost price calculation method. Therefore, even the combined statements are insufficient to determine a unique answer.
