(B) Let the number of $i-pads$ be $x$ and $i-phones$ be $y$. We have $x + y = 25$.Kritika sold $80\%$ of $i-pads$ $(0.8x)$ and $12$ $i-phones$ for a profit of $Rs. 40000$.The cost price of the items sold is $80\%$ of the total cost price because she sold $80\%$ of the $i-pads$ and the problem implies the $12$ $i-phones$ also represent $80\%$ of the $i-phones$ (since $12/15 = 0.8$).Total cost price $(CP)$ = $Rs. 205000$.Cost price of items sold = $80\% 	ext{ of } 205000 = 0.8 	imes 205000 = Rs. 164000$.Selling price $(SP)$ of items sold = $CP + 	ext{Profit} = 164000 + 40000 = Rs. 204000$.The remaining $20\%$ of the items ($5$ items total) were not sold,meaning their value is lost.Total $SP$ of all items = $SP 	ext{ of sold items} + SP 	ext{ of unsold items} = 204000 + 0 = Rs. 204000$.Overall Profit/Loss = $	ext{Total } SP - 	ext{Total } CP = 204000 - 205000 = -1000$.Therefore,Kritika incurred an overall loss of $Rs. 1000$.
