Solution

The problem states that a 15% discount on the first article is equal to a 20% discount on the second article. This can be represented by the equation:

0.15 * Price1 = 0.20 * Price2

We can rearrange this equation to find the ratio of the prices of the two articles:

Price1/Price2 = 0.20/0.15 = 4/3

Now we can check each of the options to see which one fits this ratio:

  1. Rs.80 , Rs. 40: The ratio is 2, which does not match 4/3.
  2. Rs. 60 , Rs. 55: The ratio is approximately 1.09, which does not match 4/3.
  3. Rs. 70, Rs. 30: The ratio is approximately 2.33, which does not match 4/3.
  4. RS.80,RS.60: The ratio is 4/3, which matches the ratio we found.

Therefore, the correct answer is RS.80,RS.60.
