    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the cost price of 1 jacket = Rs. 500. So, the cost price of 8 jackets = Rs. 4,000. Selling price of 8 jackets (cost price of 12 jackets) = Rs. 6,000. Profit on jackets = Rs. 6,000 - Rs. 4,000 = Rs. 2,000. Profit percentage = 2000/4000 × 100 = 50% Therefore, the selling price of the computer = 1.50 × 28000 = Rs.42,000
