Correct Answer: INR 693


Solution : Let the cost price be $x$.
Profit is 26%.
So, selling price $=\frac{100+26}{100}×x=\frac{63x}{50}$
According to the question,
$\frac{63x}{50}-x=143$
$⇒13x=143×50$
$\therefore x=550$
So, selling price $=\frac{63x}{50}=\frac{63×550}{50}=693$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 693.
