Correct Answer: INR 200
Solution : Let the cost price and marked price of an article be $4x$ and $7x$. Selling price after 20% discount on marked price = $\frac{(100-20)}{100}\times 7x = 5.6x$ Selling price after profit of INR 80 on cost price = $4x + 80$ According to the question, $5.6x=4x+80$ $⇒1.6x=80$ $⇒x=50$ $\therefore$ Cost price $=4x=4×50=200$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 200.
