  1. Answer:

    Rs.4032

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For the shopkeeper.

    C.P. of article

    = (100130×5200)

    = Rs.4000

    Marked price of article

    = 4000×1125100 = Rs. 4500

    For Mr. Sharma,

    Discounted price of article

    = Rs. (4500×80100)

    = Rs.3600 Therefore, Actual C.P. of article

    = Rs. (3600+3600×12100)

    = Rs.(3600+432)

    = Rs.4032
