Profit of article A = 100%

 then SP of articles A = 200% 

profit of articles B = 75% 

then SP of article B = 175%

CP = 5 : 8

Ans: C

3. The sum of cost price of two articles A and B is Rs.350. Both articles marked up 60% above cost price. If marked price of article B is Rs.80 more than that of A, then find the cost price (in Rs.) of article A?

 Sol: Let assume CP of M = x

 then CP of N = 1400 − x

4200 − 3x = 4x

 7x = 4200 

x = 600 

CP of N =1400 − 600 = 800
