      A Rs. 2200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 2300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 2400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 2500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 2600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the cost price of the article = Rs. '100y' According to the question, 100y ร— 1.4 ร— 0.8 = 100y + 240 Or, 112y = 100y + 240 So, y = (240/12) = 20 So, cost price of the article = 20 ร— 100 = Rs. 2000 So, desired selling price = 2000 ร— 1.25 โˆ’ 100 = Rs. 2400
