    D Rs. 2225 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. 5y and Rs. 2y respectively Sum of cost price of articles β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ = 1750 Γ— 2 = 3500 => 5y + 2y = 3500 => 7y = 3500 => y = 500 So, cost price of article β€˜A’ = 5y = Rs. 2500 Cost price of article β€˜B’ = 2y = Rs. 1000 Selling price of article β€˜A’ = 2500 Γ— (122/100) = Rs. 3050 Selling price of article β€˜B’ = 1000 + 200 = Rs. 1200 So, average selling price of given two articles = (3050 + 1200) Γ· 2 =Β  Rs. 2125
