$\fontsize{18}{10}{\textup{\textbf{Selling price is Rs. 3300.}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the actual price of the article.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$x-30\%\times x=2100\\\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{30}{100}x=2100\\\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{3}{10}x=2100\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-3}{10}x=2100\\\\\Rightarrow 7x=21000\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{21000}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow x=3000.$

Therefore, if the article is sold at 10% profit, then its selling price is given by

$x+10\%\times x\\\\=3000+10\%\times 3000\\\\=3000+\dfrac{10}{100}\times3000\\\\=3000+300\\\\=3300.$

Thus, the required selling price of the article is Rs. 3300.
