    Solution

    ATQ, Marked price of laptop 'L' = 135% of 35,000 = (1.35) x 35,000 = Rs. 47,250 Selling price of laptop 'L' = 82% of 47,250 = (0.82) x 47,250 = Rs. 38,745 Profit earned on laptop 'L' = Rs. 38,745 - Rs. 35,000 = Rs. 3,745 Marked price of laptop 'K' = 165% of 45,000 = (1.65) x 45,000 = Rs. 74,250 Selling price of laptop 'K' = 122% of 45,000 = (1.22) x 45,000 = Rs. 54,900 Discount offered on laptop 'K' = (19,350/74,250) x 100 = 26.05% Statement (I) is false (the selling price of laptop 'L' is Rs. 38,745, not Rs. 33,320). Statement (II) is false (the discount on laptop 'K' is 26.05%, not 22%). Statement (III) is true (Rs. 9,900 profit on laptop 'K' is more than Rs. 3,745 on laptop 'L').
