Farhaan+bought+two+articles+A+and+B+at+Rs.5000+and+Rs.2000+respectively%2C+and+he+marked+article+A+at+x%25+above+the+cost+price+and+he+marked+article+B+at+(x%2F3)+%25+above+the+cost+price+and+gave+discount+12.5%25+and+10%25+respectively%2C+then+find+the+value+of+x+and+given+that+total+profit+amount+obtained+by+Farhaan+is+Rs.2160

Let's solve this step-by-step.

### Step 1: Set up the variables
1. Let the cost price of article A = Rs. 5000
2. Let the cost price of article B = Rs. 2000
3. Let \( x \% \) be the markup percentage on article A above its cost price.
4. Let \( \frac{x}{3} \% \) be the markup percentage on article B above its cost price.

### Step 2: Selling Price with Markup and Discounts

#### For Article A
- Marked Price of A = \( 5000 \times \left(1 + \frac{x}{100}\right) \)
- After a 12.5% discount, the Selling Price of A = \( 5000 \times \left(1 + \frac{x}{100}\right) \times (1 - 0.125) \)
  
#### For Article B
- Marked Price of B = \( 2000 \times \left(1 + \frac{x}{300}\right) \)
- After a 10% discount, the Selling Price of B = \( 2000 \times \left(1 + \frac{x}{300}\right) \times (1 - 0.1) \)

### Step 3: Total Profit
Total profit is given as Rs. 2160, so we can set up the equation:

\[
\text{Total Profit} = \left( \text{Selling Price of A} - 5000 \right) + \left( \text{Selling Price of B} - 2000 \right)
\]

Expanding and solving for \( x \) will yield the value of \( x \) that satisfies this condition.

Farhaan bought two articles A and B at Rs.5000 and Rs.2000 respectively, and he marked article A at x% above the cost price and he marked article B at (x/3)% above the cost price and gave discounts of 12.5% and 10% respectively. Then find the value of x, given that the total profit amount obtained by Farhaan is Rs.2160.
