    B Rs. 1400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 1525 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1529.60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 2340 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Amount received by A after selling the article = 1.10 × 1300 = Rs. 1430
    Therefore, selling price of the purse for the seller = 1430 + 400 = Rs. 1830
    Let the cost price of the purse for the seller be Rs. x
    According to the question, 1.20x = 1830
    Or, x = 1830/1.20 = 1525
    Therefore, cost price of the purse for the seller = Rs. 1525
