Solution

The correct option is A Loss $1000 r s$
SP $= R s . 12000$
Profit $= 20 %$
$∴$ CP $= \frac{100}{120} \times 12000 = R s . 10000$
SP $= R s . 12000$
Loss $= 20 %$
$∴$ CP $= \frac{100}{80} \times 12000 = R s . 15000$
$∴ T o t a l C P = R s . 10000 + R s .15000 = R s . 25000$
And, $∴ T o t a l S P = R s . 12000 \times 2 = R s . 24000$
$∴ L o s s = R s . 25000 - R s .24000 = R s . 1000$
