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,
 (1060-x)=120100×(x-950)  10600-100 x=120 x-120×950  220x=220000  x=1000   Desired S.P. = 120100×1000
S.P. = Rs. 1200
So, the article should be sold at Rs. 1200.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
