    C 15:16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the marked price of the article be Rs. ‘100x’ Then, selling price of the article = 0.75 × (100x) = Rs. 75x Cost price of the article = 75x × (100/80) = Rs. (375x/4) Required ratio = (375x/4) : 100x = 375x : 400x = 15 : 16
