B Rs. 1400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Rs. 1623.20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Rs. 1529.60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Amount received by A after selling the article = 1.10 × 1560 = Rs. 1716
Therefore, selling price of the purse for the seller = 1716 + 325 = Rs. 2041
Let the cost price of the purse for the seller be Rs. x
According to the question, 1.25x = 2041
Or, x = 2041/1.25 = 1632.80
Therefore, cost price of the purse for the seller = Rs. 1632.80
