Solution

The correct option is A Loss of Rs. 1000
SP = $R s . 12000$
Gain = 20%
CP= $= \frac{100}{100 - 20} * 12000 = \frac{100}{80} * 12000 = R s . 15000$
Scooter -
$S P = R s . 12000$
$g a i n = 20$
Cp = $= \frac{100}{120} * 10000$
Total $C P = R s . 15000 + R s . 10000 = R s . 25000$
Total $S P = R s . 12000 * 2 = R s . 24000$
$L o s s$ = total $C P$ = total $S P$
$= R s . 25000 - R s . 24000$
$= R s . 1000$
