Correct Answer: INR 2,688 gain


Solution : Cost price = INR 48,000
Selling price after 12% loss = $\frac{48000\times(100-12)}{100}$ = INR 42,240
Selling price after 20% gain = $\frac{42240\times(100+20)}{100}$ = INR 50,688
Profit = Selling price – Cost price = INR (50,688 – 48,000) = INR 2,688
Hence, the correct answer is a profit of INR 2,688.
