Detailed Solution

Given that a man buys articles at Rs. each and another n articles for Rs. y and he then sells all the articles at Rs. per article.
Cost price for a article = Rs x Cost price of m articles = Rs mx.
Cost price of other article = Rs y Cost price of n another articles = Rs ny Total cost price =  mx+ny Selling price of a  article = Rs z ∴ Selling Price for (m+n)articles = z(m+n) Profit =Selling price - Cost price
Profit =z(m+n)-(mx+ny) Thus, the equation to represent the profit is z(m+n)-(mx+ny).
Therefore, the correct option is 3.
