A Correct answer
Explanation

Let each camera cost Rs. 1000. First camera sells at 18% profit: SP1 = 1000 × 1.18 = 1180. Second camera sells at 10% less: SP2 = 1180 × 0.90 = 1062. Total cost = 2000, total revenue = 1180 + 1062 = 2242, profit = Rs. 242. Profit percent = (242/2000) × 100 = 12.1%. Check: actual cost cancels out in ratio calculation.
