A.

Rs. 3962

B.

Rs. 4048

C.

Rs. 3562

D.

Rs. 3888

Correct option is B

Given:
Cost Price (CP) = Rs. 4600
Loss Percentage = 12%
Formula Used:
SP=CP(1Loss100)SP = CP \cdot \left(1 - \frac{\text{Loss}}{100}\right)​​
Solution:
Cost Price (CP)=4600Loss Percentage=12%Selling Price (SP)=CP(1Loss100)SP=4600(112100)SP=46000.88SP=4048\text{Cost Price (CP)} = 4600 \\\text{Loss Percentage} = 12\% \\\text{Selling Price (SP)} = \text{CP} \cdot \left(1 - \frac{\text{Loss}}{100}\right) \\\text{SP} = 4600 \cdot \left(1 - \frac{12}{100}\right) \\\text{SP} = 4600 \cdot 0.88 \\\text{SP} = 4048​​
Thus, the selling price of the article is Rs. 4048.
