Correct Answer: 200


Solution : The difference in selling price by selling an article at a profit of 10% and 7% = INR 6
Let the cost price (CP) of the article be $x$.
According to the question,
110% of $x$ – 107% of $x$ = 6
⇒ 3% of $x$ = 6
⇒ $x = \frac{6}{3}\times 100 = 200$
CP of the article = INR 200
Hence, the correct answer is 200
