    Solution

    ATQ,

    Calculate a = 252 −125 = 500. Cost Price (CP) = 1a = 500, Selling Price (SP) = 2a = 1000, Marked Price (MP) = 500+700 = 1200. Increase CP and SP by Rs. 100: New CP = 600, New SP = 1100. Discount = MP - New SP = 1200 - 1100 = 100. Profit = New SP - New CP = 1100 - 600 = 500. Difference = Profit - Discount = 500 - 100 = 400.
