- Kamal buys 80 articles for Rs11,180. The cost per article is Rs11,180/80 = Rs139.75.

- He sells them with a loss equal to the selling price of 6 articles.

- Let the selling price of one article be RsX.

- The total selling price for 80 articles is 80X.

- The loss is the cost price minus the total selling price, which is 11,180 - 80X.

- But this loss is also equal to the selling price of 6 articles: 6X.

- Hence, 11,180 - 80X = 6X.

- Solving this: 11,180 = 86X, so X = 11,180/86 = 130.

- The selling price per article is Rs130.

Option 1: Rs130 is the correct answer.
