Solution

The correct option is A ₹295 profit
Total money spent by Amy = Total cost price.
Total cost price = ₹120 + ₹60 + ₹ 350 + ₹ 175 = ₹705
Amount earned by Amy by selling bhel and sweets = ₹1000
$∵$ Selling price > Cost price, Amy earns a profit.
Profit = Selling price - Cost price = 1000 - 705 = ₹ 295
