Solution

It is given that
C.P of $1$ dozen articles $= ₹ 450$
$P r o f i t = 20 %$
$S . P = [C . P (100 + p r o f i t)] / 100$
Substituting the values
$= [450 (100 + 20)] / 100$
So we get
$= (450 \times 120) / 100$
$= ₹ 540$
S.P of one article $= 540 / 12 = ₹ 45$
S.P of seven articles $= 45 \times 7 = ₹ 315$
