Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
Let article purchased be 1
1 articale = Rs. 10
1 articale = Rs. 14
CP of 2 article = 10 + 14 = Rs. 24
CP of 1 article = $$\frac{{24}}{2}$$ = Rs. 12
SP of 1 article = Rs. 13
Profit = 13 - 12 = Rs. 1
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Profit}}\% = \frac{1}{{12}} \times 100 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{25}}{3} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 8\frac{1}{3}\% \cr} $$
1 articale = Rs. 10
