⇒ Cost price of first article × (100 + profit)% = selling price
⇒ Cost price of first article = 1495/(100 + 15)%
⇒ The cost price of the first article = (1495/115) × 100
⇒ The cost price of first article = Rs. 1300
⇒ Profit on the first article = selling price – cost price
⇒ Profit on first article = 1495 – 1300 = Rs. 195
⇒ The cost price of the second article = Rs. 1300
⇒ The selling price of the second article = cost price × (100 + profit)%
⇒ Selling price of second article = 1300 × (100 + 10)%
⇒ The selling price of the second article = 1300 × 110/100
⇒ The selling price of the second article = Rs. 1430
⇒ Profit in second article = 1430 – 1300 = Rs. 130
⇒ Total profit = 195 + 130 = Rs. 325
∴ Total profit in two articles is Rs. 325.
