  • Options
  • A. ? 40
  • B. ? 35
  • C. ? 32
  • D. ? 30

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 32 

    Explanation

    ? Marked price of an article = ? 50
    ? SP of an article = 50 x (100 - 20)/100
    = (50 x 80)/100
    = ? 40

    Hence, cost price of an article = (40 x 100)/(100 + 25)
    = (40 x 100)/125
    = ? 32
