Profit percentage on saree type C 

= 20 – 10 + 20(–10)/100 

= 8%.

Profit percentage on saree type D = 5% (found in previous question). 

If the cost price of saree type C is 100x, then selling price of saree type C is 108x.

If the cost price of saree type D is 100y, then selling price of saree type D is 105y.

Thus, 

108x/105y = 3/4

or, x/y = 35/48 

or, the ratio of cost price of saree type C and D = 35/48

Hence, the percentage by which the cost price of saree type D is more than the cost price of saree type C 

= {(48–35)/35}*100 

= 37%

Hence A > B
