    B 8400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 7200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let CP of an article be Rs.x And MP = Rs.(1400 + x) According to question, => (1400 + x) – 300 = [x × 120/100] => 1100 + x = 6x/5 => x = 5500 SP of an article = [(100 + 30)/100] × 5500 = Rs.7150
