Option 3 : 15 : 8

Short Trick:

According to the question,

Selling price of A's goods = 2500 + 1.25 × 4000 = Rs 7500

∴ Required ratio = 7500 ∶ 4000 = 15 ∶ 8

Detailed Solution:

Cost price of A’s goods = Rs 6000

∴ Selling price of A’s goods = Rs 6000(1 + x/100)

Cost price of B’s goods = Rs 4000

∴ Selling price of B’s goods = Rs 4000(1 + 25/100) = Rs 5000

According to the question,

⇒ 6000(1 + x/100) – 5000 = 2500

⇒ 6000 + 60x = 1500

⇒ 60x = 1500

⇒ x = 25

⇒ Selling price of A’s goods = 6000(1 + 25/100) = Rs 7500

∴ Required ratio = 7500 ∶ 4000 = 75 ∶ 40 = 15 ∶ 8
