The cost price of two articles is the same. One of them is sold at a profit of 13% while the other at a profit of 19%. If there is a difference of Rs. 126 between their selling prices, then the cost price of each article is:
ARs. 1800
BRs. 1900
CRs. 2000
DRs. 2100 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Rs. 2100
Explanation
The cost price of each is Rs 2100.
Same CP, profits 13% and 19%.
SP difference = (19 - 13)% of CP = 6% of CP.
6% of CP = 126.
CP = 126 / 0.06 = Rs 2100.
