ii) The total S.P of the three articles.
iii) The profit or loss on the whole three articles

• A. i) C.P. = Rs. 2100
  ii) S.P. = Rs. 2000
  iii) Loss = 15%
• B. i) C.P. = Rs. 2000
  ii) S.P. = Rs. 2100
  iii) Profit = 5%
• C. i) C.P. = Rs. 3000
  ii) S.P. = Rs. 3100
  iii) Profit = 5%
• D. i) C.P. = Rs. 2500
  ii) S.P. = Rs. 2100
  iii) Loss = 5%

Answer 1

The correct option is B i) C.P. = Rs. 2000

ii) S.P. = Rs. 2100
iii) Profit = 5%
Total Cost Price = Rs. 620 + Rs. 575 + Rs. 805 = Rs. 2000
Total Selling Price = Rs. 780 + Rs. 437 + Rs. 883 = Rs. 2100
Net Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price = Rs. 2100 - Rs. 2000 = Rs. 100
Profit % = $\frac{NetProfit}{C.P}\times 100$ = $\frac{Rs.100}{Rs.2000}\times 100=5$%
hence , answers are as follows :
i) C.P. = Rs. 2000
ii) S.P. = Rs. 2100
iii) Profit = 5%
