Dear Student
The following solution is already provided in the complete detailed manner. The profit percentage of Linc pens is 13/37 and that of cello pens is (-13/37).
So, when the overall profit percentage is calculated i.e.
{3850CL(13/37)+1848CC(-13/37)}/[3850CL+1848CC]
={1848CC(13/37)+1848CC(-13/37)}/[1848CC+1848CC]
=0
