\textbf{\underline{it can be solved by two methods}}

\textbf{\underline{method}}-1:
Brokerage paid by the seller =1 % of 2,50,000
= 1 × 2,50,000/100
= 2,500 Rs.

Brokerage paid by the buyer = 2 % of 2,50,000
= 2 × 2,50,000
= 5,000 Rs.

so, total brokerage earned by broker = 2,500 + 5000 = 7,500 Rs.


\textbf{\underline{method}}-2:
the brokerage earned by broker = 1 % + 2% = 3%
total brokerage can be calculated at the rate of 3% on 2,50,000
= 3 × 2,50,000
= 7,500 Rs.

imhkp4u: Rs 2,50,000 is inclusive of brokerage cost.
abhi178: no , we can't add broker charge on 2,50,000
abhi178: it is exclusive of brokerage cost.
imhkp4u: I don't think so. It's nowhere mentioned in the question. So, my answer cannot be marked as incorrect. (Until n unless there are some answers given for verifying)
abhi178: broker always get commission for their service. his fee or commission is exclusive . he get after brokerage so, we can't add their charge on it
abhi178: even it is practical
imhkp4u: yes broker do get commission. but is it mentioned that the brokerage charge is not summed up? is it?
abhi178: no require to mention. because broker concept is what just i used
imhkp4u: Good! keep it up. I'm not wrong at any point, until any key is provided.
