    C Rs. 3050 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 4150 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 9 watches = 9 × 850 = Rs. 7650 Maximum selling price of 9 watches = 9 × 1300 = Rs. 11700 Therefore, maximum profit that can be earned = 11700 – 7650 = Rs. 4050
