    ‘B’ is 6:5 respectively and the average cost price of articles ‘A’ and ‘B’ is Rs. 1100. If articles ‘A’ and ‘B’ are sold at profit of 21% and profit of Rs. 200 respectively, then what is the average selling price of the given two articles?
    A Rs. 1300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 1327 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 1328 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1326 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of articles ‘A’ and ‘B’ be Rs. 6y and Rs. 5y respectively Sum of cost price of articles ‘A’ and ‘B’ = 1100 × 2 = 2200 => 6y + 5y = 2200 => 11y = 2200 => y = 200 So, cost price of article ‘A’ = 6y = Rs. 1200 Cost price of article ‘B’ = 5y = Rs. 1000 Selling price of article ‘A’ = 1200 × (121/100) = Rs. 1452 Selling price of article ‘B’ = 1000 + 200 = Rs. 1200 So, average selling price of given two articles = (1452 + 1200) ÷ 2 =  Rs. 1326
