    C Rs. 6350 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 6700 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 14 watches = 14 × 1100 = Rs. 15400 Maximum selling price of 14 watches = 14 × 1550 = Rs. 21700 Therefore, maximum profit that can be earned = 21700 – 15400 = Rs. 6300
