For the first article -

Let the CP be x.

Profit % ( r) = 20%

SP = ₹1560

SP = 1+r/100 * CP

₹1560 = 1+ 20/100 * CP

₹1560 = 120/100 * CP

₹1560 = 1+ 20/100 * CP

CP = ₹1560 *100/120

= ₹1300

For the second article -

Let the CP be x.

Profit % (r) = 30%

SP = ₹1560

SP = 1+r/100 * CP

₹1560 = 1+ 30/100 * CP

₹1560 = 130/100 * CP

CP = ₹1560 *100/130

= ₹1200

Total CP of both the articles = ₹1300 + ₹1200

= ₹2500

Ans.= The total cost price of both the articles is ₹2500.
