\[\text { S . P of 90 ball pens = Rs . 160 }\]
\[\text { Loss = 20 % } \]
\[\text{Therefore, C . P = SP }\left( \frac{100}{100 -\text { loss % }} \right)\]
\[CP = \frac{100}{100 - 20} \times 160\]
\[ = \frac{16000}{80}\]
\[ = Rs . 200\]
\[\text { Now, } \]
\[\text { S . P of 90 ball pens = Rs . 96 }\]
