    B)         profit of Rs. 2160

    C)  Loss of Rs. 240

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Total cost price of mobile phone and refrigerator =Rs. (12000 + 10000) = Rs. 22000 SP of mobile phone = (88% of 12000) \[=Rs.\left( \frac{88}{100}\times 12000 \right)=Rs.10560\] SP of refrigerator = 108% of 10000) \[=Rs.\left( \frac{108}{100}\times 10000 \right)=Rs.10800\] Total SP of both the articles = Rs. (10560 + 10800) = Rs. 21360 Loss = Rs. (22000 ? 21360) = Rs. 640.
