    A 31% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 30% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 21% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Cost Price of A = Rs. 2000
    Cost Price of B = Rs. 1250
    Profit on A = 0.12 × 2000 = Rs. 240
    Overall profit = 0.17 × 3250 = Rs. 552.5
    Profit on B = 552.5 – 240 = Rs. 312.5
    Profit percentage = 312.5/1250 × 100 = 25%
