Step-by-step explanation:
Number of articles bought by the trader = x
It is given that the trader bought the articles for Rs 1200.
So, cost of one article = Rs 1200/x
Ten articles were damaged. So, number of articles left = x - 10
Selling price of each of (x - 10) articles = Rs (1200/x + 2)
Selling price of (x - 10) articles = Rs (x − 10)(1200/x + 2)
Number of articles cannot be negative. So, x = 100.
