$R s . 920$
$R s . 960$
$R s . 1060$
$R s . 1200$

Let profit is $x$ and loss is $x$

Then $\Rightarrow 832 - x = 448 + x$

$\Rightarrow - 2 x = - 384$

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{- 384}{- 2} = 192 R s .$

$∴$ cost price of article= $832 - 192 = 640 R s .$

$S . P o f A r t i c l e = 640 \times \frac{150}{100} = 960 R s$ .
