      A Rs. 2125 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      D Rs. 2025 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. 4y respectively Sum of cost price of articles β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ = 1800 Γ— 2 = 3600 => 5y + 4y = 3600 => 9y = 3600 => y = 400 So, cost price of article β€˜A’ = 5y = Rs. 2000 Cost price of article β€˜B’ = 4y = Rs. 1600 Selling price of article β€˜A’ = 2000 Γ— (122/100) = Rs. 2440 Selling price of article β€˜B’ = 1600 + 210 = Rs. 1810 So, average selling price of given two articles = (2440 + 1810) Γ· 2 =Β  Rs. 2125
