Rs240 loss

Rs450 profit

- Anusha purchased a television for Rs12,000 and sold it at a 10% loss.

- Loss on television = 10% of 12,000 = Rs1,200.

- Selling price of television = 12,000 - 1,200 = Rs10,800.

- She purchased a camera for Rs8,000 and sold it at a 12% profit.

- Profit on camera = 12% of 8,000 = Rs960.

- Selling price of camera = 8,000 + 960 = Rs8,960.

- Total cost = 12,000 (television) + 8,000 (camera) = Rs20,000.

- Total selling price = 10,800 (television) + 8,960 (camera) = Rs19,760.

- Overall, she made a loss of Rs20,000 - Rs19,760 = Rs240.

- Option 3: Rs240 loss is the correct answer.
