Answer:

$\huge \pink{ \mid{ \underline{ \overline{ \tt answer : - }} \mid}}$

Let the cost of each article be 50x.

SP of the first article = 50x × [114/100]

SP of the second article = 50x × [86/100] = 43x

Ratio of CP and SP of the first article = 50x : 57x

Ratio of CP and SP of the second article = 50x : 43x

Multiply by 43 in equation (1) and multiply by 57 in equation (2)

New ratio of CP and SP of the first article = 2850x : 2451x

New ratio of CP and SP of the second article = 2150x : 2451x

According to the question

⇒ 2850x + 2150x = 624

⇒ 5000x = 624

⇒ 700x = [624/5000] × 700 = 87.36
