Correct answer: (B) ₹ 20₹ 20

Explanation

CP of the first article = 850/1.25 = ₹680 and of the second = 850/0.85 = ₹1,000. Total CP = ₹1,680, total SP = ₹1,700, so the overall profit is ₹20.पहली वस्तु का क्रय मूल्य = 850/1.25 = ₹680 और दूसरी का = 850/0.85 = ₹1,000। कुल क्रय मूल्य = ₹1,680, कुल विक्रय मूल्य = ₹1,700, अतः कुल लाभ ₹20 है।
