Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. Let's assume the original prices of the first and second articles are 3x and 2x respectively.

  2. According to the problem, the price of the first article is increased by 10%. So, the new price becomes 3x + 0.10(3x) = 3.3x.

  3. The price of the second article is increased by Rs. 4. So, the new price becomes 2x + 4.

  4. The problem states that the original ratio remains the same after the price increase. So, we can set up the following equation: 3.3x / (2x + 4) = 3/2.

  5. Solving this equation for x gives us x = 10.

  6. Therefore, the original price of the second article is 2x = 2*10 = Rs. 20.

However, Rs. 20 is not an option in the given choices. There seems to be a mistake in the problem or the options provided.
