Correct Answer: Rs. 33


Solution : The cost price of each article = $\frac{2}{8}$
So, the cost price of 120 articles = $\frac{2}{8}×120=30$
To get a profit of 10%, the selling price should be
= $\frac{100+ \text{Profit}\%}{100}×$ cost price = $\frac{110}{100}×30=33$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 33.
