A Correct answer
Explanation

The difference between selling at 7% profit and 13% loss is 20% of the cost price. This difference equals ₹1080. Therefore CP = 1080/0.20 = ₹5400. When sold at 25% profit, selling price = 5400 × 1.25 = ₹6750. Verification: 7% of 5400 = 378, 13% of 5400 = 702, difference = 378 - (-702) = 1080 ✓
