Solution

Given, for each radio $C . P . = R s 600$
For the first Radio,
Profit % $= \frac{S . P .1 - C . P .}{C . P} \times 100 = 12$ %
$=> \frac{S . P .1 - 600}{600} \times 100 = 12$ %
$=> S . P .1 - 600 = 72$
$=> S . P .1 = R s 672$
Given, total Loss $= - R s 25$
$=> T o t a l S . P . - T o t a l . C . P . = - 25$
$=> 672 + S . P .2 - 1200 = - 25$
$=> S . P .2 - 528 = - 25$
$=> S . P .2 - 503$
Hence, he sold the second radio for Rs $503$
