Correct Answer: Rs. 3600
Solution : Let the cost price of the article be $x$. It was sold at a loss of 14%. So, selling price $=\frac{100-14}{100}×x=\frac{43x}{50}$ According to the question, $\frac{43x}{50}+756=\frac{100+7}{100}×x$ $⇒\frac{107x-86x}{100}=756$ $⇒21x=75600$ $\therefore x=3600$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 3600.
