Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cp of watch be Rs.x

profit%=25/4%

Then,Profit=25/4÷100×x

P =Rs.x/16

Then,sp of watch when it is sold at a profit

=Rs.x/16+x

=Rs. 17x/16

Loss%=25/4%

Loss= 25/4÷100×x

loss =Rsx/16

Sp of watch when it is sold at a loss

=x-x/16

=15x/16

As per question

17x/16-15x/16 =Rs.95

x/8= 95

x = 95×8

x=Rs.760
