(B) Let the listed price of the article be $x$. Given that the discount allowed is $15 \%$. The selling price is the listed price minus the discount. Selling Price $= x - (15 \% \text{ of } x) = x - 0.15x = 0.85x$. We are given that the customer pays $Rs. 318.75$,so $0.85x = 318.75$. $x = \frac{318.75}{0.85}$. $x = 375$. Therefore,the listed price of the article is $Rs. 375.00$.
