      Solution

      Total cost price of articles β€˜M’ and β€˜N’ together
      = 16500 Γ— 2 = Rs. 33000 Cost price of article β€˜M’
      = 5/11 Γ— 33000 = Rs. 15000 Cost price of article β€˜N’
      = 33000 – 15000 = Rs. 18000 Let profit percentage earned on selling article β€˜M’ is x%. So, 15000 Γ— (1 + x/100) + 18000 Γ— (1 – x/100) = 30600 Or, 15000 + 150x + 18000 – 180x = 30600 Or, 33000 – 30x = 30600 Or, 30x = 2400 Or, x = 80 So, desired difference
      = 1.80 Γ— 15000 – 0.20 Γ— 18000
      = 27000 – 3600
      = Rs. 23400
