      C Rs.1520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.1100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Marked price of article = 1.25 × (4n + 90) = Rs. (5n + 112.5)
      Selling price of article = 5n + 112.5 − 150 = Rs. (5n − 37.5)
      So, 5n − 37.5 = 1,950
      Or, 5n = 1,987.5
      Or, n = 397.5
      Therefore, cost price of article = 4 × 397.5 + 90 = Rs. 1,680
