    C Rs. 239.80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 436.80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    So, let the cost price of the items be Rs.7x and Rs.3x Or, (7x + 3x) = 480 So, 10x = 480 So, 'x' = 48 Therefore, required selling price = Rs. 48 X 7 X 1.3 = Rs. 436.8
