    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. 450 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of the article be Rs. ‘x’. Then, marked price of the article = Rs. ‘x + 250’ Selling price of the article = Rs. (x + 25) ATQ; 0.50 × (x + 250) = x + 25 Or, 0.5x + 125 – x = 25 Or, 0.5x = 100 So, x = 200 So, marked price of the article = 200 + 250 = Rs. 450
