Solution:

(a) CP. of articles 100 (let)
Marked price of articles

= { 100 × 130 }/ { 100 } = 130

S.P. of half of articles

= { 130 } /{ 2 } 565

S.P of one-fourth of articles at 15%

= { 65 } /{ 2 } × { 70 } /{ 100 } =

= Rs. 27.625
S.P of remaining articles

= { 65 }/ { 2 } × { 70 }/ { 100 } =

Rs. 22.75
Total S.P.(65 + 27.625 + 22.75)
115.375
Profit % = 15.375%= 15
