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.
