    B Rs. 561 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 693 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 945 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of the article be Rs. x Therefore, marked price of the article = Rs. 1.75x Selling price of the article = 0.4 x 0.75 x 1.75x = Rs. 0.525x According to the question, (x - 0.525x) = 855 Or, 0.475x = 855 Or, x = 1800 Therefore, selling price of the article = 1800 - 855 = Rs. 945
