- The selling price at a 22% discount means the article is being sold at 78% of its marked price.

- The selling price at a 14.5% discount means the article is being sold at 85.5% of its marked price.

- The difference between these two selling prices is Rs 285.

- Setting up the equation: 85.5% of marked price - 78% of marked price = Rs 285.

- This simplifies to 7.5% of the marked price = Rs 285.

- Solving for the marked price: Marked price = Rs 285 / 0.075 = Rs 3,800.

Option 3: Rs 3,800 is the correct answer.
