      C 40.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 60.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, the shopkeeper earns the thrice profit that he would have earned had he sold it for Rs 67.
      Profit% = 3 (profit %)
      S.P - C.P = 3 x (S.P - C.P)
      Let C.P = x
      120 - x = 3 x (67 - x)
      120 - x = 201 - 3x
      2x= 201 - 120
      x= 40.5
      Hence, the cost price of the article = 40.5
