Correct Answer: Rs. 540
Solution : Given: An article was sold for Rs. 450 after a discount of $16\tfrac{2}{3}$% on the marked price. Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount%}}{100}×$ marked price ⇒ $450 = \frac{100-16\frac{2}{3}}{100}×$ marked price ⇒ marked price $=\frac{45000}{\frac{250}{3}}=540$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 540.
