      Solution

      Let the cost price of each scarf be Rs. s. Β  Initial selling price of all scarves = 1.25 Γ— 30 Γ— s = Rs. 37.5s Β  According to the question, 37.5s + 3000 = 1.5 Γ— 30s Or, 45s - 37.5s = 3000 Or, 7.5s = 3000 Or, s = 400 Therefore, the selling price of 20 scarves at 35% profit = 20 Γ— 1.35s = Rs. 10800
