Solution

Marked price of an article is ₹180.

Discount = 20%

Selling price of the article = $$\frac{80}{100}\times$$180 = ₹144

Let the cost price of the article = C

Profit = 25%

Selling price of the article = $$\frac{125}{100}$$C

$$\frac{125}{100}$$C = 144

C = $$\frac{576}{5}$$

C = 115.2

Cost price of the article = ₹115.20

Hence, the correct answer is Option C
