    C Rs.565 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.595 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the cost price of article 'I' and 'J' be Rs. 'x' and Rs. 'y', respectively. So, x + y = 750 ............(I) And, 1.40(y - x) = 140 So, y - x = 100 .............(II) Adding equations (I) and (II), we get, x + y + y - x = 750 + 100 Or, 2y = 850 So, 'y' = (850/2) = 425 Therefore, marked price of article 'J' = 425 x 1.40 = Rs. 595
