A jewelry dealer initially offered a bracelet for sale at an asking price that would give a profit to the dealer of 40 percent of the original cost. What was the original cost of the bracelet?
(1) After reducing this asking price by 10 percent, the jewelry dealer sold the bracelet at a profit of $403.
(2) The jewelry dealer sold the bracelet for $1,953.

Asking price 140
10 % discount = 126

26% of original price = $403

Sufficient

140% of original price $1,953

Sufficient

Let original selling price = S
1.4S - 0.10(1.4S) = 403 + S; SUFFICIENT.

Statement 2 is NOT sufficient in case the price at which the bracelet was sold was not the same as the asking price. I feel the language is not clear enough for this statement.

The correct answer should be A.
