Rs. 1350

- Let's represent the cost of articles:

- Let Q's cost be Rs. x.

- Then, R = 1.20 * Q = 1.20x.

- P costs 25% more than R. Therefore, P = 1.25 * R = 1.25 * 1.20x = 1.5x.

- Given: P + Q + R = Rs. 3330.

- Substitute known values: (1.5x) + x + (1.2x) = 3330.

- 3.7x = 3330.

- Solve for x:

- x = 3330 / 3.7 = 900.

- Calculate P:

- P = 1.5 * x = 1.5 * 900 = Rs. 1350.

- Correct Option:

- Option 4 - Rs. 1350
