    C Rs. 5950 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 5850 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 13 watches = 13 × 1000 = Rs. 13000 Maximum selling price of 13 watches = 13 × 1450 = Rs. 18850 Therefore, maximum profit that can be earned = 18850– 13000 = Rs. 5850
