Detailed Solution

It is given that profit earned is

Rs . 1060

and it is

20 %

more than the loss incurred by selling the article for

Rs . 950

.
Let C.P. be Rs

x

.
Then,

\Rightarrow (1060 - x) = \frac{120}{100} \times (x - 950)

\Rightarrow 10600 - 100 x = 120 x - 120 \times 950

\Rightarrow 220 x = 220000

\Rightarrow x = 1000

∴

Desired S.P. =

\frac{120}{100} \times 1000

\Rightarrow S . P . = Rs .

1200
So, the article should be sold at

Rs . 1200

Hence, the correct option is 4.
