Correct Answer: Rs. 570
Solution : If the person had a loss of 14% after selling the article for Rs. 430, this means that 86% (100% – 14%) of the cost price is Rs. 430. The cost price of the article = $\frac{430}{0.86}$ = Rs. 500 To earn a gain of 14%, the selling price of the article = $500 × \frac{114}{100}$ = Rs. 570 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 570.
