Correct Answer: Loss = Rs. 2800


Solution : Given:
First watch price = Rs. 12,000
Profit percentage = 10%
⇒ Profit on the first watch = $\frac{10}{100} ×$ 12,000 = Rs. 1,200
Second watch price = Rs. 20,000
Loss percentage = 20%
⇒ Loss on the second watch = $\frac{20}{100} ×$ 20,000 = Rs. 4,000
⇒ Total loss = 4000 – 1200 = Rs. 2,800
Hence, the correct answer is 'Loss = Rs. 2800'.
