    C Rs. 90 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of the article be Rs. ‘2x’
    So, marked price of the article = 2x × 1.6 = Rs. ‘3.2x’
    Selling price of the article = 3.2x × 0.75 = Rs. ‘2.4x’
    Profit = 2.4x – 2x = Rs. ‘0.4x’
    ATQ;
    0.4x = 45
    Or, x = 112.5
    So, marked price of the article = 112.5 × 3.2 = Rs. 360
    Selling price of the article = 112.5 × 2.4 = Rs. 270
    Required difference = 360 – 270 = Rs. 90
