$\huge\underline{\tt Explanation:}$

$\sf\green{\underline{Given:-}}$

• Two watches are sold. S.P of each watch is 2000.
• Gain of Rs. 275 in first, Loss of Rs. 150 in another.

$\sf\green{\underline{To\:Find:-}}$

• Total cost price

$\textsf{\underline{\large{Solution:-}}}$

For First watch,

S.P = ₹ 2000

Gain = ₹ 275

∵ Cost price = S.P - Gain

= ₹ 2000 - ₹ 275

= ₹ 1725

Now,

For Second watch,

S.P = ₹ 2000

C.P = ₹ 2000 + ₹ 150

      = ₹ 2150

→ Total C.P

= ₹ 1725 + ₹ 2150

= ₹ 3875

Therefore,

Total cot price is ₹ 3875.
