    Solution

    To make the maximum possible profit, one has to purchase the toys at minimum rate and he must sell the same at maximum rate. C.P. of 45 toys at minimum rate = 45   175 = Rs.7, 875 and S.P. of 45 toys at maximum rate = 45   300 = Rs. 13,500 ∴ Maximum possible profit = 13,500 – 7,875 = Rs. 5,625
