Correct Answer: INR 42484
Solution : Selling price = INR 39216 When there is a loss of 4%, then the selling price will be 96% of the cost price. If there is a profit of 4%, then the selling price will be 104% of the cost price. So, according to the question 96% of the cost price = 39216 So, 104% of the cost price = $\frac{39216}{96}$ × 104 = INR 42484 Hence, the correct answer is INR 42484.
