Answer:
=======

Let the C.P of one item is Rs. x and that of other is Rs. $(7500 - x)$

According to the data given,

$C.P = S.P$

$x \times ( \frac{116}{100} ) + (7500 - x) \times ( \frac{86}{100} )= 7500$

$30x = 105000$

$x = 3500$

Required difference between selling prices,

$= [( \frac{3500}{100} ) \times 116] - [( \frac{4000}{100} ) \times 86]$

$= 4060-3440$

$= Rs. 620$

Therefore,

Correct option A) Rs. 620

Heyy mate ❤✌✌❤

Here's your Answer...

⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️

Let the C.P of one item is Rs. P
and that of other is Rs. (7500 - P)

According to the data given

C.P = S.P 

=> Px(116/100) + (7500-P)x(86/100) = 7500 

=> 30P = 105000

=> P = 3500

Required difference between selling price

= Rs. [(3500/100) x 116] - [(4000/100) x 86]

= 4060-3440

= Rs. 620
