    A 394 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 755 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 455 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 542 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the cost price of article ‘A’ = Rs. ‘x’ = selling price of article ‘B’

    Selling price of article ‘A’ = 1.80 × x = Rs. ‘1.8x’

    So, cost price of article ‘B’ = (7/18) × 1.8x = Rs. ‘0.7x’

    ATQ,

    Divisor = 2 × 7 = 14

    Quotient = 14 × (100/50) = 28

    So, dividend = Quotient × Divisor + Remainder = 28 × 14 + 2 = 394
