Given:
Selling price of an article = Rs. 3740
Loss percentage = 45%
To find:
Cost price of the article
Let the cost price of the article be x.
We know that the selling price of an article is given by:
Selling price = Cost price + Profit or Loss
As Vinod has incurred a loss of 45%, his selling price is only 55% of the cost price.
Hence, we can write:
Selling price = 55% of Cost price
⇒ 3740 = 0.55x
Solving the above equation for x, we get:
x = 6800
Therefore, the cost price of the article is Rs. 6800.
The correct answer is 'Option E' (None of these).
