Correct Answer: 6
Solution :
The cost price of 9 pens = Re. 1
The cost price of a pen = Re. $\frac{1}{9}$
Profit percentage = 50%
The selling price of a pen = $\frac{150}{100}×\frac{1}{9}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$
If 1 pen = INR $\frac{1}{6}$,
Number of pens sold for Re. 1 = 6
Hence, the correct answer is 6.
