₹126 ₹136 ₹125 ₹130 |
₹126 |
According to the question, Let the number of article be x. Selling price at Rs. 12 per article – Selling price at Rs. 9 per article = 150 = 12x – 9x = 150 = 3x = 150 = x = 50 Cost price per article = Total cost price/Number of article Cost price per article = 250/50 Cost price per article = Rs. 5 Selling price = Number of article × Cost price × (100 + profit %)/100 = 21 × 5 × (100 + 20)/100 = 105 × 120/100 = 126 |
