Solution

The correct option is A Rs. 2,220
Cost price of the first article = Rs. 2,500.
As we know that he sold the first article at a gain of 20%.
Selling price = [100+Gain%100]×CP
So, S.P. of the first article = [100+20100]× × 2500 = Rs 3000
Total C.P. of both the articles = (Rs. 2500 + Rs. 2000) = Rs. 4,500
Total gain on the whole transaction = 16%
Total S.P. = 116100×4500=Rs.5,220
Selling price of second article = Total Selling price – Selling price of first article = Rs. 5200 - Rs. 3000 = Rs. 2,220
Thus, he should sell the second article at Rs. 2,220.
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

पहली वस्तु का क्रय-मूल्य = 2,500 रु.
चूंकि हम जानते हैं कि उसने पहली वस्तु को 20% के लाभ पर बेचा।
विक्रय मूल्य = [100+Gain%100]×CP
इसलिए, पहली वस्तु का विक्रय-मूल्य = [100+20100]× × 2500 = Rs 3000
दोनों वस्तुओं का कुल क्रय-मूल्य = (2500 रु. + 2000 रु.) = 4,500 रु.
समग्र सौदे का कुल लाभ = 16%
कुल विक्रय-मूल्य = 116100×4500=Rs.5,220
दूसरी वस्तु का विक्रय-मूल्य = कुल विक्रय-मूल्य - पहली वस्तु का विक्रय-मूल्य = 5220 रु. - 3000 रु. = 2,220 रु.
इस प्रकार, उसे दूसरी वस्तु को 2,220 रु. में बेचना चाहिए। इसलिए, विकल्प (a) सही उत्तर है।
