Correct Answer: 2658


Solution : Let the cost price be 100 units.
Profit in the first case = 7% of 100 = 7 units
Profit in the second case = 57% of 100 = 57 units
Difference in profit = INR 1329
(57 – 7) units = 1329
50 units = 1329
Cost price = 100 units = 1329 × 2 = INR 2658
Hence, the correct answer is 2658.
