Solution

The correct option is B ₹400 Profit
Sum invested = ₹50000
Loss incurred = $\frac{10}{100} \times 50000 =$ ₹5000
Sum left at the end of 1 year = ₹50000 - ₹5000 = ₹45000
Profit made on ₹45000 = $\frac{12}{100} \times 45000 =$ ₹5400
Amount = ₹45000 + ₹5400 = ₹50400
Since 50400 > 50000
Profit = ₹50400 - 50000 = ₹400
