    C Rs.300 Profit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.100 Loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Sum of cost price of the washing machine and microwave oven = 12000 + 7500 = Rs. 19,500

    Selling price of the washing machine = 12000 Ă— 1.15 = Rs. 13,800

    Selling price of the microwave oven = 7500 Ă— 0.80 = Rs. 6,000

    Total profit in the transaction = (13800 + 6000) - 19500 = Rs. 300
