GIVEN:

SP = Rs. 1540 when loss = 30%

CONCEPT:
Basic profit and loss concept.

FORMULA USED:

SP = CP × (1 - Loss %/100)

SP = CP × (1 + Profit %/100)

CALCULATION:

Cost price of TV = 1540/(1 - 30/100)

= 1540/0.7 = Rs. 2200

Hence,

Selling price when profit is 30% = 2200 × (1 + 30/100) = Rs. 2860
