Correct Answer: INR 2,160


Solution : Let the cost price of A be INR $x$.
The selling price of A = cost price of B = INR 4860
Loss of A = 19% of $x$
Selling price of A = cost price of A – Loss of A
⇒ 4860 = $x$ – 19% of $x$
⇒ 81% of $x$ = 4860
⇒ $x$ = INR 6000
Profit = 17% of $x$ = 17% of 6000 = INR 1020
Selling price of B = 6000 + 1020 = INR 7020
Gain of B = 7020 – 4860 = INR 2160
Hence, the correct answer is INR 2,160.
