Answer:

  Rs 400

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price was ...

  cp(1 -10%)

where cp is the cost price. If we add Rs 60 to that, then the selling price would be ...

  cp(1 -10%) +60 = cp(1 +5%)

  60 = 15%·cp . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 90%·cp

  60/0.15 = cp = 400

The cost of the shirt was Rs 400.
