    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 β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ be Rs. 6y and Rs. 5y respectively Sum of cost price of articles β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ = 1100 Γ— 2 = 2200 => 6y + 5y = 2200 => 11y = 2200 => y = 200 So, cost price of article β€˜A’ = 6y = Rs. 1200 Cost price of article β€˜B’ = 5y = Rs. 1000 Selling price of article β€˜A’ = 1200 Γ— (121/100) = Rs. 1452 Selling price of article β€˜B’ = 1000 + 200 = Rs. 1200 So, average selling price of given two articles = (1452 + 1200) Γ· 2 =Β  Rs. 1326
