      A woman bought a washing machine for Rs. 12,000 and a

      microwave oven for Rs. 7,500. She sold the washing machine at a profit of 15% and the microwave oven at a loss of 20%. Find the total profit or loss for her in the transaction.
      A Rs.250 Profit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.200 Loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      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 × 1.15 = Rs. 13,800

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

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