Answer:

  ₹14000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the cost price, and m represent the marked price.

  c × (1 +40%) = m

  m × (1 -15%) - c = ₹1900

Using the first expression for m, the second equation becomes ...

  1.40c×0.85 -c = ₹1900

  0.19c = ₹1900

  c = ₹1900/0.19 = ₹10000

Then the marked price was ...

  m = 1.40c = 1.40×₹10000 = ₹14000

The marked price was ₹14000.

_____

The selling price was ₹11900.
