Explanation

When selling at ₹7200 with a 36.66% loss on selling price, the loss amount is 36.66% of ₹7200 = ₹2640 (approximately). Therefore, cost price = ₹7200 + ₹2640 = ₹9840. To gain 25% on cost price, the new selling price should be 125% of ₹9840 = ₹12300. Option A (₹11200) is too low, while Options C, D, and E are incorrect calculations.
