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 — The cost price of each article is 2100 rupees, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The cost price of each article is 2100 rupees, so that is the answer.
★Let the common cost price be x.
★The two selling prices are 1.19 times x and 1.13 times x.
★Their difference is 0.06 times x, which equals 126.
★So x is 126 divided by 0.06.
★That gives 2100 rupees.
