      A Rs. 1440 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 1400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      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
