    C Rs. 1340 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1529.60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 1445 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Amount received by A after selling the article = 1.10 × 1280 = Rs. 1408
    Therefore, selling price of the purse for the seller = 1408 + 200 = Rs. 1608
    Let the cost price of the purse for the seller be Rs. x
    According to the question, 1.20x = 1608
    Or, x = 1608/1.20 = 1340
    Therefore, cost price of the purse for the seller = Rs. 1340
