    B 26% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 45% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let cost price of the article is Rs. ‘x’ So, Selling price of the article = 0.7 × 1.8 × x = Rs. 1.26x According to question; ⇒ 1.26x – x = 416 ⇒ 0.26x = 416 ⇒ x = 1600 Desired Percentage = [(2320 – 1600)/1600] × 100 = 45%
