    C Rs. 6750 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 15 watches = 15 × 900 = Rs. 13500 Maximum selling price of 15 watches = 15 × 1350 = Rs. 20250 Therefore, maximum profit that can be earned = 20250 – 13500 = Rs. 6750
