- Marked Price: The marked price of the article is Rs 2720.

- Discount Given: A 25% discount is offered.

- Discount amount = 25% of 2720 = Rs 680.

- Selling price after discount = 2720 - 680 = Rs 2040.

- Selling at Loss: The shopkeeper sells the article at a 15% loss.

- If selling price is Rs 2040, representing 85% of cost price (because of 15% loss), then:

- Let cost price be x, so 85% of x = 2040.

- 0.85 * x = 2040, solving gives x = 2400.

Option:2 - 2400 is the correct answer.
