Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say cost price of second article = 100C Rs

second article sold at 25% profit

=> Second article selling Price = 100C + (25/100)100C  = 125C  Rs

cost price of First article is equal to the selling price of second article.

=> cost price of First article  = 125C Rs

First article is sold at 15% loss

=> Loss = (15/100) 125C = 75C/4   Rs

Selling Price of First article = 125C - 75C/4  = 425C/4  Rs

Total Cost Price = 100C + 125C = 225C Rs

Total Selling Price = 125C + 425C/4  = 925C/4 Rs

925C/4  = 1850

=> C = 8

Total Cost Price = 225 * 8 = 180

Profit =  1850 - 1800 = Rs 50
