      A 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 30% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Cost price of 200 articles = 200 × 40 = ₹8,000 Revenue from 120 articles sold at ₹50 each = 120 × 50 = ₹6,000 Revenue from 80 articles sold at ₹60 each = 80 × 60 = ₹4,800 Total revenue = ₹6,000 + ₹4,800 = ₹10,800 Profit = Total revenue - Total cost price = ₹10,800 - ₹8,000 = ₹2,800 Profit percentage = (Profit / Total cost price) × 100 = (2,800 / 8,000) × 100 = 35% Correct Option: d) 35%
