Correct Answer: INR 2,600


Solution : Given: If the craftsman sells the table for INR 1,300 and incurs a loss of 35%, it means that 65% (100% - 35%) of the cost price is INR 1,300.
Let the cost price be CP.
65% of CP = INR 1,300
Now, to gain 30%, the craftsman should sell the table for 130% of the cost price.
The selling price (SP) to gain 30%.
SP = 130% of CP = 2 × 1300 = INR 2,600
Hence, the correct answer is INR 2,600.
