The correct option is D) 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let the Cost price of each article is x.

He sold 30% of the articles at 20% profit and remaining  at 10% profit.

30% of 200 is: 200\times\frac{30}{100}=60

That means 60 articles sold at 20% profit and 140 articles sold at 10% profit.

The total profit made by him is rs. 2600,

20% of 60x + 10% of 140x = 2600

Here, 60x and 140x represents the cost price of 60 and 140 article respectively.

\frac{20}{100} \times 60x + \frac{10}{100} \times 140x = 2600

12x + 14x= 2600

26x= 2600

x= 100

Hence, the cost price of one article is 100 rupees.

Therefore, the correct option is D) 100.
