Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ₹ 1,092

Given that

A profit earned by selling an article for ₹1,032 = the loss incurred when the same article is sold for₹ 648.

Profit % = 30%

Selling Price = Cost price + Profit

Cost price = (1032 + 648)/2 = ₹840

Hence, Selling price = 840 + 840 × 30/100 = 840 + 252 = ₹1092
