ATQ, Let the cost price and selling price of the article be Rs. '5x' and Rs. '6x', respectively. According to the question, 3000−6x+(6x−5x) = 1200 Simplifying, 3000−6x+x = 1200 3000−5x = 1200 5x = 3000−1200 5x = 1800 x = 1800/5 = 360 Therefore, the selling price of the article is: 6x = 6×360 = 2160
