- Anu sold an article at Rs1,134 that equaled the loss she would have had as gain with a 10% profit sale.

- This means the cost price (CP) of the article can be derived. Let the cost price be x.

- Selling at 10% profit would mean the selling price is 1.1x.

- The loss when selling at Rs1,134 equals the gain at 10% profit, so: x - 1134 = 0.1x.

- Solving for x gives x = Rs1,260.

- When Anu sells it for Rs1,354.50, profit = Rs1,354.50 - Rs1,260 = Rs94.50.

- Profit percentage = (Profit / CP) × 100 = (94.50 / 1,260) × 100 = 7.5%.

- Therefore, the correct option is Option: 4, 7.5%.
