Answer 2

Answer:

$Abhinav \: pays \:for \:the \:watch = Rs\:12500$

Step-by-step explanation:

$cost\:price \:of \:a \:watch = Rs \: 13300$

$Gain = 12\% ,\\Loss = 5\%$

$selling \: price \: of \:a \: watch\\ = \frac{c.p\times 100}{(100+gain)} \times \frac{100}{(100-loss)}$

$= \frac{ 13300\times 100}{(100+12)} \times \frac{100}{100-5}\\= \frac{ 13300\times 100\times 100}{112\times 95}\\= Rs\:12500$

Therefore.,

$Abhinav \: pays \:for \:the \:watch = Rs\:12500$
