      B Rs.536 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.793 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let the cost price of the article be Rs. ‘x’. Marked price of the article = Rs. x+250. According to the question: x−50=0.95×0.75×(x+250) 178.125 x−50=0.7125x+178.125 0.2875x=228.125 x =793
