B. 6 : 7

Explanations
Question 1- A
Selling price of article B = 110.4% of 2500 = Rs. 2760
Selling price of article C = 118% of 2400 = Rs. 2832
Marked price of article B = 2760/80 × 100 = Rs. 3450
Marked price of article C = 2832/94.4 × 100 = Rs. 3000
Required difference = Rs. (3450 – 3000) = Rs. 450
Hence, option A is correct.
Question 2- D
Selling price of the article E = 44% of 4800 = Rs. 2112
Cost price of the article E = 2112/132 ×100 = Rs. 1600
Hence, option D is correct.
Question 3- B
Marked price of article A = 3132/78.3 × 100 = Rs. 4000
Marked price of article D = 1700/85 × 100 = Rs. 2000
Reqd. % = 2000 × 100 = 50%
4000
Hence, option B is correct.
Question 4- A
Initially, the selling price of the article A = 135% of 2320 = Rs. 3132
Initially, the marked price of the article A
=
3132/78.3 × 100 = Rs. 4000
Therefore, discount given initially = 4000 – 3132 = Rs. 868
New marked price of the article A = 4000 – 400 = Rs. 3600
New discount % = 21.7 – 6.7 = 15%
New discount = 15% of 3600 = Rs. 540
Required difference = Rs. (868 – 540) = Rs. 328
Hence, option A is correct.
Question 5- C
Cost price of the article C = 2124/118 × 100 = Rs. 1800
Cost price of the article E = 1848/132 × 100 = Rs. 1400
Required ratio = 1400 : 1800 = 7 : 9
Hence, option C is correct.
