      A Rs. 3616 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      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 = 1.12 × 3500 = Rs. 3920
      Therefore, selling price of the purse for the seller = 3920 + 600 = Rs. 4520
      Let the cost price of the purse for the seller be Rs. x
      According to the question, 1.25x = 4520
      Or, x = 4520/1.25 = 3616
      Therefore, cost price of the purse for the seller = Rs. 3616
