    A)  Rs. 85, Rs. 60   

    B)  Rs. 60, Rs. 40

    C)  Rs. 40, Rs. 20   

    D)  Rs. 80, Rs. 60

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the CP of one article \[=Rs.\,x\] And CP of another article \[=Rs.\,y\] According to question,             \[15%\text{ of}\,x=20%\text{ of }y\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{15x}{100}=\frac{20y}{100}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[3x=4y\] This shows that the price of articles can be Rs. 80 and Rs. 60.
