Answer:
let the CP of first article be x.
Profit %= 33.33
SP =x+ 33.33x/100
= (133.33/100)x
CP of the second article =y
Profit% = 100, profit = y
SP = 2y
133.33x/100 = 2y
1.3333x = 2y
x/y = 2/1.3333 = 3/2
CP of the first article = 3/5*100= 60
CP of the second article = 2/5*100 = 40
Profit on the first article= 60/100*33.33 = 20
Profit on the second article = 40
Total profit = 20+40=60
Total CP = 100
Therefore, the overall profit% = 60.
