Passage
By the mid-nineteenth century, mass production of paper patterns, the emergence of the
home sewing machine, and the convenience of mail order catalogs brought fashionable clothing into the American home. By the early twentieth century, home economists working in extension and outreach programs taught women how to use paper patterns to improve the fit and efficiency of new garments as well as how to update existing ones.
Teachers of home economics traditionally made home sewing a critical part of their
curriculum, emphasizing self-sufficiency and resourcefulness for young women. However, with
the increasing availability of mass-produced clothing in catalogs and department stores, more
and more women preferred buying garments to making them. As a result, home economists
shifted their attention to consumer education. Through field study, analysis, and research, they
became experts on the purchase and preservation of ready-to-wear clothing for the family,
offering budgeting instruction targeted at adolescent girls. Modern home sewing made it
possible for American women to transcend their economic differences and geographic locations with clothing that was increasingly standardized. The democratization of fashion continued through the twentieth century as the ready-to-wear market expanded and home sewing became more of a pastime than a necessity.

so 1 rs. 12 items that is 4 more items than original after reduction...

yar kya karna hai???
The average score in an examination taken by 52 students of a class is 85 .if the scores of the best 5 performers are not considered , the average score of th remaining students falls by 2 .If ,none of the first five highest scores is not below 80 and if each of the 5 top scorers had distinct integral scores ,find the maximum possible score of the topper

when 1 rs. deducted by 33.33% that means 1/3rd deduction that is eqal to 2/3 rs.(0.66)
for 2/3 rs. 8 items
then for 1 rupees (8*3)/2=12,before deduction u were getting 8 per rupee now 12 per rupee that means 4 per rupee so answer is 8 per 1 rupee
muze thik se expalin karna nahi ata bas agar nahi samaz paye to koi aur samaza do..
