Anil bought two articles A and B at a total cost of Rs. 10,000. He sold the article A at 15% profit and the article B at 10% loss. In the whole deal, he made no profit or no loss. Find the selling price of the article A.

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
\[\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {}&{\text{A}}&{\text{B}} \\ {{\text{Cost price}} \to }&{20}&{{{10}_{ \times 3}}} \\ {{\text{Profit/Loss}} \to }&{ + 3}&{ - {1_{ \times 3}}} \\ {{\text{Sale price}} \to }&{23}&{{9_{ \times 3}}} \end{array}\]
$$\eqalign{ & 50{\text{ units }} \to {\text{10000}} \cr & {\text{1 unit }} \to 200 \cr & {\text{Selling price of A}} = 23 \times 200 = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}4600 \cr} $$
