    C Rs. 5800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 6400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Maximum profit will be earned when the cost price is least and selling price is maximum. Therefore, least cost price of 12 watches = 12 × 1350 = Rs. 16200 Maximum selling price of 12 watches = 12 × 1800 = Rs. 21600 Therefore, maximum profit that can be earned = 21600– 16200 = Rs. 5400
