Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
Let cost price of A =
Cost price of B =
When sold at 10% profit each:
Profit on A =
Profit on B =
Total profit =
Therefore
So, Cost price of A =
Cost price of B =
When sold at new rates:
Loss on A (20%) =
Profit on B (30%) =
Total profit =
Therefore, her new total profit is ₹16.
