Solution :
Given: Anusha purchased a television and a camera for INR 12,000 and INR 8,000, respectively.
She sold the television at a loss of 10 percent, and the camera at a profit of 12 percent.
The selling price of the television = $\frac{100– 10}{100}\times 12000=0.9\times 12000 = $ INR 10,800.
The selling price of the camera = $\frac{100+12}{100}\times 8000=1.12\times 8000 = $ INR 8,960.
The total selling price = 12000 + 8000 = INR 20,000.
The total cost price = 10800 + 8960 = INR 19,760.
The total loss = 20000 – 19760 = INR 240.
Hence, the correct answer is INR 240 loss.
