Solution

Let the cost of 1 shirt, 1 jacket and 1 trouser be Rs x, Rs y and Rs z respectively.Now, according to first condition :7x + 10y + 13z = 25000 .....117x + 21y + 25z = 41000 .....2Subtracting 1 from 2, we get10x + 11y + 12z = 16000 10x + 10y + 10z + y + 2z = 1600010x+y+z + y + 2z = 16000 y + 2z = 16000 - 10x+y+z3y+2z = 48000 - 30x+y+z3y+6z = 48000 - 30x+y+z .....3Now, from 1, we get 7x + 7y+7z + 3y + 6z = 250007x+y+z + 3y+6z = 25000 .......4Put the value of 3y+6z from 3 in 4, we get7x+y+z + 48000 - 30x+y+z = 25000-23x+y+z = -23000x+y+z = 1000So, cost of 1 shirt + cost of 1 jacket + cost of 1 trouser = x+y+z = Rs 1000
