A Correct answer
Explanation

First calculate the selling price after discount: Rs. 2800 × 0.95 = Rs. 2660. Since profit is 33%, the selling price equals 133% of cost price. Therefore CP = 2660/1.33 = Rs. 2000. Option B (1900) and D (2200) are common errors from incorrect percentage calculations. Option C (2560) would imply a much smaller profit.
