Correct Answer: 12.1% profit
Solution : Given: A shopkeeper buys two cameras at the same price. He sells one camera at a profit of 18%. The other is at a price 10% less than the selling price (SP) of the first. Let the cost price (CP) of each camera be 100 units. SP of the first camera = 118 SP of the second camera = 90% of 118 = 106.2 Total CP = 100 + 100 = 200 Total SP = 118 + 106.2 = 224.2 Profit = 224.2 – 200 = 24.2 $\therefore$ Profit % = $\frac{24.2}{200}×100$ = 12.1% Hence, the correct answer is 12.1% profit.
