Option 4 : Rs. 810

Given:

On selling an article for Rs. 800, the loss is 1/8 of the profit which is received on selling the article for Rs. 890.

Calculation:

Let the cost price of the article be ‘x’

⇒ (x - 800) = (1/8)(890 - x)

⇒ 8x - 6400 = 890 - x

⇒ 9x = 7290

⇒ x = 810

∴ Cost price of the article = Rs. 810
