    Solution

    Percentage profit earned on selling article lsquo;Brsquo; = [(2625 ndash; 1875)/1875] times; 100 = 40% So, percentage discount given on selling article lsquo;Arsquo; = 40/1.60 = 25% So, marked price of article lsquo;Arsquo; = 1008/0.75 = Rs. 1344 Cost price of article lsquo;Arsquo; = 1344/1.40 = Rs. 960
