- The shopkeeper buys jeans, shirts, and t-shirts.

- Prices are Rs500 for jeans, Rs350 for shirts, and Rs200 for t-shirts.

- Bought in the ratio 1:2:3.

- Total cost is Rs46,800.

Let's break it down:

- Let the common multiple be $ x $.

- Therefore, jeans = $ 1x $, shirts = $ 2x $, and t-shirts = $ 3x $.

Now the total cost equation:

$$ 500(1x) + 350(2x) + 200(3x) = 46800 $$

- Simplifies to:

$$ 500x + 700x + 600x = 1800x = 46800 $$

- Solving for $ x $:

$$ x = \frac{46800}{1800} = 26 $$

- T-shirts are $ 3x = 3 \times 26 = 78 $.

- Correct Answer: 78 t-shirts.
