Explanation

Priya buys at 2000. Sells to Neha at 2500 (25% profit). Neha sells back to Priya at 25% loss of 2500, which is 1875. Priya now has the watch at cost 1875. Total profit = 1200. Profit from first sale = 500. Profit from final sale = 1200 - 500 = 700. Final sale price = 1875 + 700 = 2575. Profit % = (700/1875) * 100 = 37.33%.
