Solution :
Given: An article is Marked at Rs. $450$. If it is sold at a discount of $20$%, then the selling price becomes $1.5$ times its cost price.
The marked price is Rs. $450$ and the discount is $20$%.
So, the selling price = $(450×\frac{80}{100})$ = Rs. $360$
Since the selling price is 1.5 times its cost price,
So, the cost price = $\frac{360}{1.5}=360×\frac{10}{15}$ = Rs. $240$
Hence, the correct answer is 240.
