ANSWER

Let the CP of 1st article be x.

So,SP of 1st article =x+

10

x

=

10

11x

.

And,SP of 2nd article =46−x+46−

5

x

=

5

6(46−x)

.

Therefore,SP of both articles =

10

11x

+

5

6(46−x)

=552−

.

If he sold the article of 15% profit,total SP=x+

100

15x

+46−x+

100(46−x)

15

=

529

.

Now,According to the question,552−

529

x=552−529=23.

Therefore,SP of each article =

10
