    Let cost price of the article = Rs. $$x$$ Loss = Rs. $$(x-1234)$$ Profit = Rs. $$(2500-x)$$ According to ques, => $$frac{P-L}{L} imes100=11$$ => $$frac{(2500-x)-(x-1234)}{(x-1234)} imes100=11$$ => $$frac{3734-2x}{x-1234}=frac{11}{100}$$ => $$11x-13574=373400-200x$$ => $$11x+200x=373400+13574=386974$$ => $$x=frac{386974}{211}=1834$$ $$ herefore$$ Cost price = Rs. 1834
    => Ans - (D)
