View Answer

Correct choice: A

Explanation:

The servant worked for 9 days instead of 12 days, he should receive 9/12 of his total payment Let the price of 1 shirt be Rs. S i.e., 3/4 (400 + S). However, the question states that the servant receive Rs. 280 + S where S is the price of the shirt. By equating the two equations we get 3/4 (400 + S) = 280 + S. Therefore, Price of the shirt S = Rs. 80.
