A shopkeeper sold article A at a profit of $18\%$ and article B at a loss of $10\%$, thus making an overall profit of Rs.$85$.

The sum of the cost prices of three items was $₹24,150$. The person sold the first item at a profit of $72\%$, the second item at a profit of $40\%$, and the third item at a profit of $126\%$.

If the cost price of the second item was $₹175$ more than what it actually was, then the ratio of the cost prices of the second and the third items, respectively, would have been $4 : 5$. What was the difference (in Rs.) between the profits earned from the sale of the first and the second items?
