    Rs. 350 where the cost price of article 'D' is Rs. 40 more than that of article 'C'. If articles 'C' and 'D' are sold at profit of 18% and profit of 22%, respectively, then find the difference between their selling prices.
    A Rs.50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.62 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.40 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the cost price of article 'C' = Rs. '10x'

    Then, cost price of article 'D' = Rs. (10x + 40)

    Sum of cost price of articles 'C' and 'D' = 10x + 10x + 40 = Rs. (20x + 40) = 350 × 2

    Or, 20x + 40 = 700

    Or, 20x = 660

    Or, x = 33

    Cost price of articles 'C' and 'D' are Rs. 330 and Rs. 370, respectively

    Selling price of article 'C' = 330 × 1.18 = Rs. 389.4

    Selling price of article 'D' = 370 × 1.22 = Rs. 451.4

    Required difference = 451.4 - 389.4 = Rs. 62
