C Correct answer
Explanation

Cost = s + 3500. Marked price = 1.9 * (s + 3500). Selling price after discounts: 1.9 * (s + 3500) * 0.9 * 0.8 = 1.9 * 0.72 * (s + 3500) = 1.368 * (s + 3500). Profit = SP - CP = 0.368 * (s + 3500) = 2760. s + 3500 = 2760 / 0.368 = 7500. s = 4000.

Let the cost per shirt be c and the originally planned number sold at 25% profit be x. Comparing the two profit totals, selling 18 additional shirts at 25% profit instead of 10% loss increases profit by 6.3c = Rs. 630, so c = Rs. 100.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Let MP be the marked price. Total revenue = 8 * (0.8 * MP) + 4 * (0.75 * 0.8 * MP) = 6.4 * MP + 2.4 * MP = 8.8 * MP. 8.8 * MP = 2112, so MP = 240. Total CP = 2112 / 1.1 = 1920. CP per toy = 1920 / 12 = 160. Profit without discount = (240 - 160) / 160 = 80 / 160 = 50%.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Let initial price be P. CP of Cinnamon = P/1.15 = 0.8696P. CP of Lavender = P/0.92 = 1.087P. New selling price S is equal for both. New profit on Lavender is 6%, so S = 1.06 * (1.087P) = 1.1522P. Profit on Cinnamon = (1.1522P - 0.8696P) / 0.8696P = 0.2826 / 0.8696 = 32.5%. Rounding to the nearest integer gives 33%.
