    Solution

    Let the cost price of article β€˜A’ = Rs. β€˜100y’ Then, selling price of the article when it is sold at a profit of 60% = 1.60 Γ— 100y = Rs. β€˜160y’ And, selling price of the article when it is sold at a loss of 16% = 0.84 Γ— 100y = Rs. β€˜84y’ According to the question, 160y – 84y = 190 Or, y = (190/76) Or, y = 2.5 So, cost price of article β€˜A’ = 100 Γ— 2.5 = Rs. 250 Therefore, cost price of article β€˜B’ = 250 + 80 = Rs. 330
