Raj purchased two laptops, first for Rs 42500 and the second for Rs 36200. He sold first laptop at a profit of 12% and the second laptop at a loss of 12%. What is the overall profit or loss?
Cost price of 1st laptop = Rs. 42,500
Profit % on selling it = 12%
=> Selling price of 1st laptop = $$42,500+(\frac{12}{100}\times42,500)=Rs.$$ $$47,600$$
Cost price of 2nd laptop = Rs. 36,200
Loss % on selling it = 12%
=> Selling price of 2nd laptop = $$36,200-(\frac{12}{100}\times36,200)=Rs.$$ $$31,856$$
$$\therefore$$ Total cost price = Rs. $$(42,500+36,200)=Rs.$$ $$78,700$$
Total selling price = Rs. $$(47,600+31,856)=Rs.$$ $$79,456$$
=> Profit = Rs. $$(79,456-78,700)=Rs.$$ $$756$$
=> Ans - (A)
