Detailed Solution

Concept: The profit is the amount gained by selling an article at a price greater than its cost price while the loss is the amount lost by selling an article for less than its cost price.
Total Sales Computation for two weeks :
Value in the first week = Rs 285891
Value in the second week = Rs 400786
Two weeks sales = 285891 + 400786
= Rs 686659
Find Difference b/w the First week and Second week :
According to question , Week 2 sales is greater than week 1.
So, difference = Week 2 – week 1
= 400786 – 285891
= 114877
The sales of week 2 is 114877 more than week 1
Hence, the sales for week 2 is more by week 1 by Rs 114877
Hence, the correct option is 1.
