Solution

two fans at $1500 R S$

$\Rightarrow$ $1$ fan cost is $750 R S$

given one is sold at $5 %$ loss and other at $10 %$ profit

therefore first fan selling price $= \frac{100 - 5}{100} \times 750 = 712.5$

second fan selling price $= \frac{100 + 10}{100} \times 750 = 825$

total earned $= 712.5 + 825 = 1537.5$

therefore profit percent $= \frac{1537.5 - 1500}{1500} \times 100 = 2.5$ %
