    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of articles β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ be Rs. 4y and Rs. 5y respectively Sum of cost price of articles β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ = 6300 Γ— 2 = 12600 => 4y + 5y = 12600 => 9y = 12600 => y = 1400 So, cost price of article β€˜A’ = 4y = Rs. 5600 Cost price of article β€˜B’ = 5y = Rs. 7000 Selling price of article β€˜A’ = 5600 Γ— (120.5/100) = Rs. 6748 Selling price of article β€˜B’ = 7000 + 600 = Rs. 7600 So, average selling price of given two articles = (6748 + 7600) Γ· 2 =Β  Rs. 7174
