Dear Student

Let 2x m of trouser material and 3x m of shirt material be bought by him Selling price of shirt material per meter =₹50 + 50 ×(12/100) =₹56
Selling price of trouser material per meter =₹90 + 90 × (10/100) =₹99
Total amount of sale =₹36,600
According to the question,
(2x×99)+(3x×56)=36600
⇒ 198x + 168x = 36600
⇒ 366x = 36600
⇒x = 36600/366
⇒x=100
Total trouser material he bought = 2x = 2 × 100 = 200 m.

Thanks
