    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the cost price of article 'G' and 'H' be Rs. 'x' and Rs. 'y', respectively. So, x + y = 600 ............(I) And, 1.55(y - x) = 110 So, y - x = 71.0 .............(II) Adding equations (I) and (II), we get, x + y + y - x = 600 + 71.0 Or, 2y = 671 So, 'y' = (671/2) = 335.5 Therefore, marked price of article 'H' = 335.5 x 1.55 = Rs. 520
