    B Rs. 530 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 550 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of the article be Rs. ‘x’. Then, marked price of the article = Rs. ‘x + 450’ Selling price of the article = Rs. (x + 15) ATQ; 0.15 × (x + 450) = x + 25 Or, 0.15x + 67.5 – x = 25 Or, 0.85x = 42.5 So, x = 50 So, marked price of the article = 50 + 450 = Rs. 500
