Rajesh purchased a mobile phone and a refrigerator for $Rs.\, 12000$ and $Rs.\, 10000$ respectively. She sold the refrigerator at a loss of $12$ percent and mobile phone at a profit of $8$ per cent. What is her overall loss$/$profit?

A

Loss of $Rs.\, 280$

B

Profit of $Rs.\, 2160$

C

Loss of $Rs.\,240$

D

Profit of $Rs.\, 2060$

Solution

(Loss$\%$ on refrigerator) $=\frac{12}{100}=\frac{10000-S P }{10000}$

$SP$ of refrigerator $= Rs. 8800$

(Profit$\%$ on phone) $=\frac{8}{100}=\frac{S P-12000}{12000}$

$SP$ of phone $=$ $Rs. 12960$ Hence, Profit$/$Loss $=($ Total $S P)-$ (Total $CP$)

$=12960+8800-12000-10000$

$= Rs -240($ Loss of $Rs .240)$
