    5. Combining statement I and statement II
Correct Option: E

As per the given all details in above question , we have
Let the labelled price be $100.
From statement I , Concession on the labeled price = 20%
From statement II , Samir sold the suitcase = $ 2000 and profit = 25%
Combing both the statements together,
Now, SP of the suitcase = 125% of 100 = $125

Labelled price = 2000 x 100 = $ 1600
125

CP of the suitcase = 1600 x 3 = $ 1200
