Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 16,436.
Profit in mobile = (10/100) × 20,000 = 2000
Profit in laptop = (20/100) × 72,000 = 14400
Profit in mobile covers = (12/100) × 300 = 36
Total Profit = 2000 + 14400 + 36 = 16436
Therefore, the shopkeeper earned a total profit of ₹16,436.
