Correct Answer: INR 900
Solution : Given: The marked price (MP) of the T-shirt = INR 1080 Selling price (SP) of the T-shirt $=1080-\frac{1080×10}{100}=1080-108=972$ Let the cost price (CP) of the T-shirt be $x$. CP + Profit = SP $\therefore x+\frac{x×8}{100}=972$ ⇒ $\frac{108x}{100}=972$ ⇒ $x=\frac{972×100}{108}$ ⇒ $x=900$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 900.
