    B 260 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Marked price = 1.3 × (20n + 400) = Rs. (26n + 520)

    Selling price = (26n + 520) - (2n + 50) = Rs. (24n + 470)

    Profit = (24n + 470) - (20n + 400) = Rs. (4n + 70)

    So, 4n + 70 = 950

    Or, 4n = 880

    Or, n = 220
