Detailed Solution

Concep- We will first divide 1000 by 4 to determine the price Saksham paid for a single sweater, and then 900 by 3 to determine the price Raja paid for a single sweater. The price of each will then be compared to determine which one was a better purchase.
We are informed that Saksham spent Rs 1000 on 4 sweatshirts. For Rs 900, his friend Raja purchased three sweatshirts.
Now, Saksham spent Rs. 1000 for 4 sweaters.
To calculate the price he paid for one sweater, we will now divide 1000 by 4.

⇒ 10004 =

Rs. 250
Therefore, Saksham spent Rs. 250 for a single sweatshirt.
When Raja spent Rs. 900 on 3 sweaters.
In order to get the price he paid for one sweater, we must first divide 900 by three.

⇒ 9003 =

Rs. 300
Raja thus paid Rs. 300 for a single sweater.
Saksham purchased the sweaters at a lower cost after comparing the costs that he and Raja paid.
Saksham therefore received a terrific bargain.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
