C Correct answer
Explanation

Let cost price of one article = x. Selling price of 2 articles = 169.875. Profit = CP of 3 articles = 3x. So SP = CP + Profit gives 169.875 = 2x + 3x = 5x, so x = 33.975. Profit on 2 articles = 3x = 101.925. Cost of 2 articles = 2x = 67.95. Profit percent = (Profit/CP) × 100 = (101.925/67.95) × 100 = 150%.
