Correct Answer: 50 : 73


Solution : The total cost price of all articles = 500 + 700 + 600 + 400 + 300 = 2500.
The total selling price of all articles = 600 + 750 + 800 + 700 + 800 = 3650.
The ratio of the total cost price to the total selling price of all articles = 2500 : 3650 = 50 : 73.
Hence, the correct answer is 50 : 73.
