    A Rs. 2125 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 2100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 2130 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 2225 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of articles ‘A’ and ‘B’ be Rs. 5y and Rs. 2y respectively Sum of cost price of articles ‘A’ and ‘B’ = 1750 × 2 = 3500 => 5y + 2y = 3500 => 7y = 3500 => y = 500 So, cost price of article ‘A’ = 5y = Rs. 2500 Cost price of article ‘B’ = 2y = Rs. 1000 Selling price of article ‘A’ = 2500 × (122/100) = Rs. 3050 Selling price of article ‘B’ = 1000 + 200 = Rs. 1200 So, average selling price of given two articles = (3050 + 1200) ÷ 2 =  Rs. 2125
