A Correct answer
Explanation

Let B's CP = x, then A's CP = x + 250. A sells at 20% profit: SP = 1.2(x + 250) = 1.2x + 300. B sells at 20% loss: SP = 0.8x. Total CP = 2x + 250, total SP = 2x + 300. Overall profit = 50, which is 4% of total CP: 50 = 0.04(2x + 250), so 1250 = 2x + 250, x = 500. Therefore: B = 500, A = 750. Option A is correct.
