A) Rs. 1100 B) Rs. 1793.4

Let Cost Price(C.P) = P
gain% = {(S.P-C.P)/C.P} x 100
25 = {(1540-P)/P} x 100
25/100 = (1540-P)/P
=> P = 4(1540)-4P
=> 5P = 4(1540)
=> P = 1232
So, Cost Price = Rs. 1232

Thats why portion of block immersed in water is 

= (22/7 * 36 * 4) / total vol. of rectangle 

= (22/7 * 36 * 4)/ (7*5*6) 

= (22/7 * 24)/ 35.
