Man sold two ArticlesA (at a profit of 40%) and B (at a loss of 20%). He incurred a total profit of Rs 18/inthe whole deal. If Article A costs Rs 140/less than Article B. what is the price of article B ?


A) Rs 380/-

B) Rs 280/-

C) Rs 340/-

D) Rs 375/-

E) Rs 370/-

Correct Answer:
E) Rs 370/-

Description for Correct answer:
Let the cost price of article B = Rs x

Cost price of article A = Rs(x - 140)

According to question,

(x - 140 ) x \( \Large \frac{140}{100} \) + x * \( \Large \frac{80}{100} \) = x + x - 140 + 18

\( \Large \frac{14x - 1960 + 8x}{10} \) = 2x - 122

22x - 1960 = 20x - 1220

2x = 740

x = Rs 370/-
