Explanation:

Total selling price = $$4752 \times 2$$ = Rs.9504
For article 1 , he gains 32% . Let its cost price be x.
4752 = $$\frac{132x}{100}$$ => x = 3600
For article 2 , he loses 28%. Let its cost price be y.
4752 = $$\frac{72y}{100}$$ =>y = 6600
Total Cost Price = Rs.10200
Loss = 10200 - 9504 = Rs.696
Loss % = $$\frac{696 \times 100}{10200}$$ = 6.8%
So , the answer would be option c)6.8% loss
