Correct Answer: INR 3,360
Solution : Selling price = INR 1,440 Loss = 40% of cost price Cost price = selling price + loss ⇒ Cost price = 1440 + 40% of cost price ⇒ 60% of cost price = 1440 ⇒ Cost price = $\frac{1440}{0.6}$ = INR 2400 Profit = 40% of cost price = 0.4 × 2400 = INR 960 So, the selling price = cost price + profit = 2400 + 960 = INR 3,360 Hence, the correct answer is INR 3,360.
