A Rs. 1280 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Rs. 1250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Rs. 1125 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Rs. 1800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Let the cost price and marked price of the article be Rs. 6x and Rs. 11x, respectively Therefore, selling price of the article = 1.50 × 6x = Rs. 9x According to the question, 11x – 9x = 450 Or, x = 450/2 = 225 Therefore, amount by which article is marked up above its cost price = 11x – 6x = 5x = Rs. 1125
