Correct Answer: INR 822


Solution : Given: Selling price = INR 402
Loss = 33%
Selling price = 67%
Let the cost price be $x$.
So, $\frac{67x}{100}=402$
$\therefore x = 600$
To get 37% profit, selling price = $\frac{137}{100}\times$cost price $=\frac{137}{100}\times600=822$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 822.
