    A 604 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 755 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 455 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 542 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the cost price of article ‘A’ = Rs. ‘x’ = selling price of article ‘B’

    Selling price of article ‘A’ = 1.60 × x = Rs. ‘1.6x’

    So, cost price of article ‘B’ = (3/16) × 1.6x = Rs. ‘0.3x’

    ATQ,

    Divisor = 5 × 3 = 15

    Quotient = 15 × (100/30) = 50

    So, dividend = Quotient × Divisor + Remainder = 50 × 15 + 5 = 755
