Assume CP of 3850 linc and 1848 cello be Re 1 each. - total cp =2
cp of 1 linc pen = 1/3850
Profit from the sale of 481 linc pens= 650 * (1/3850)
Profit from the sale of 3850 linc pens= 650 * (1/3850) / (3850/481) =650/481.

Similarly,
Profit from the sale of 1848 cello pens= 408 * (1/1848) / (1848/625) =408/625.

1.35 +0.65 = 2 is the total profit.

percentage profit is 100%
