    A Rs. 1312.50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 1260 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 1335 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of both the articles be Rs. x
    According to the question,
    1.29x – 0.89x = 600
    => x = 600/0.40 = 1335
    Therefore, selling price of article sold at loss = 0.89x = Rs. 1335
