What is the cost price of a shirt?

I. The shirt is sold at a discount of Rs.50.

II. The shop made a profit of Rs.200 by selling the shirt.


Options:
A) If the question can be answered by using statement I alone but not by using statement II alone
B) If the question can be answered by using statement II alone but not by using statement I alone
C) If the question can be answered by using either of the statements alone
D) If the question can be answered by using both the statements together but not by either of the statements alone
E) If the question cannot be answered even by using both the statements together
Solution:
From the discount and profit information, the cost price cannot be determined. Moreover, selling price information is also needed. So, we cannot find the required answer even after using both the statements.
