Correct Answer: $3\frac{5}{13}$% profit
Solution : For the first toy, Selling price = Rs. 504 Gain% = 12% 504 = Cost price + 12% of Cost price 504 = 1.12 × Cost price Cost price = Rs. 450 For the second toy, Selling price = Rs. 504 Loss% = 4% 504 = Cost price – 4% of Cost price 504 = 0.96 × cost price Cost price = Rs. 525 Total selling price = Rs. 504 + Rs. 504 = Rs. 1008 Total cost price = Rs. 450 + Rs. 525 = Rs. 975 Profit% = $\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}$ × 100 = $\frac{1008-975}{975}$ × 100% = $\frac{44}{13}$% = $3\frac{5}{13}$% Hence, the correct answer is $3\frac{5}{13}$% profit.
