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.
