Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 103 : 106. 

Let the CP of the article be Rs. 100

SP of first article = 100 × (103/100) = Rs. 103

SP of second article = Rs. 100 × (106/100) = Rs. 106

The ratio of SP of the first article to that of the second article = 103 : 106
