The difference between the selling prices of some articles if sold for ₹12 instead of ₹9 is ₹150. If the cost price of these articles is ₹250, then find the selling price of 21 articles if profit earned is 20%.
Let the number of articles = n
Difference between the selling price of articles if sold for ₹12 instead of ₹9 = ₹150
$$=$$> 12n - 9n = 150
$$=$$> 3n = 150
$$=$$> n = 50
Number of articles = 50
Given, Cost price of 50 articles = ₹250
$$=$$> Cost price of 1 article = ₹5
$$=$$> Cost price of 21 articles = 21 x 5 = ₹105
Profit% = 20%
$$\therefore\ $$Selling price of 21 articles = $$\frac{120}{100}\times105$$ = ₹126
Hence, the correct answer is Option A
