Expert Answer:

Cost price of books = 700 × 2 = Rs. 1400

Profit of 25% on one book will give profit = 25% of 700 = Rs. 175

Loss of 20% on one book will give loss = 20% of 700 = Rs. 140

SP of one book with profit = 700 + 175 = Rs. 875

SP of one book with loss = 700 - 140 = Rs. 560

Total SP = 875 + 560 = Rs. 1435

Profit = SP - CP

= 1435 - 1400 = Rs. 35

Now find profit percentage you get 2.5%.
