Correct Answer: 6 : 7


Solution : Let the cost price of the mobile phone as $x$. 
Given that a profit of 12% is made when the mobile phone is sold at Rs. P.
$P = x + 0.12x = 1.12x$
And there is a 4% loss when the phone is sold at Rs. Q.
$Q = x - 0.04x = 0.96x$
$\frac{Q}{P} = \frac{0.96x}{1.12x} = \frac{0.96}{1.12} = \frac{24}{28} = \frac{6}{7}$
Hence, the correct answer is 6 : 7.
