Answer:

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\red{✤Solution࿐}}}}}}$

Let, the cost price of the article be Rs X

[It is given that the man gained 10%. This means that:]

⤳ On Rs 100 gain = Rs 10

$\therefore \: \small{\color{magenta}{\fbox{\textsf{\textbf{On Rs 1 gain = Rs}}}}} \: \: \blue{ \frac{10}{100} }$

On Rs X gain =↴

$\small{= Rs \frac{10}{100} \times x = Rs \frac{x}{10} }$

✨We Know that,

⇢ S. P. = C. P. + Gain

$\therefore \: 495 = x + \frac{x}{10}$

$\implies495 \times 10 = 10x + x$

$\implies4950 = 11x$

$\implies \frac{11x}{11} = \frac{4950}{11}$

$\implies \: x = \green{450}$

Hence, the Cost price of the article = Rs 450
