    C Only I and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    MP of Item Table = 1100 Rs. SP of Item Table = 1100 - 200 = 900 Rs. CP of Item Table = 900/1.125 = 800 Rs. (III) Since there is no clear description to calculate MP, SP & CP of Item Table & Item  Pen, no other value cannot be determined. Hence, Only III is possible.
