    A Rs. 250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    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 + 200’ Selling price of the article = Rs. (x + 25) ATQ; 0.44 × (x + 200) = x + 25 Or, 0.44x + 88 – x = 25 Or, 0.56x = 63 So, x = 112.5 So, marked price of the article = 112.5 + 200 = Rs. 312.5
