    B Rs. 210 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 312.50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of the article be Rs. ‘x’. Then, marked price of the article = Rs. ‘x + 180’ Selling price of the article = Rs. (x + 25) ATQ; 0.69 × (x + 180) = x + 25 Or, 0.69x + 124.2 – x = 25 Or, 0.31x = 99.2 So, x = 320 So, marked price of the article = 320 + 180 = Rs. 500
