The ratio between the cost price of article P and R is 3:4 respectively.
Let’s assume the cost price of article P and R is 6y and 8y respectively.
The cost price of article Q is 12.5% more than the cost price of article R.
cost price of article Q = (9/8) of 8y = 9y
Article Q was marked 30% above its cost price and a 20% discount was given on it while selling.
MRP of article Q = 130% of 9y = 11.7y
SP of article Q = 11.7y of 80% = 9.36y
Discount on article Q = 11.7y - 9.36y = 2.34y
The MRP of article P is Rs. 330 less than the MRP of article Q.
MRP of article P = (11.7y - 330)
The selling price of article P is Rs. 756 after giving a discount of 10% on MRP.
(11.7y - 330) of 90% = 756
(11.7y - 330) = 840
11.7y = 840 + 330 = 1170
y = 100
CP of article R = 8y = 800
If 6.25% profit was obtained on article R while selling.
SP of article R = 800 of 106.25%
= Rs. 850
