(C) Total investment $(C.P.)$ $= ₹ 21,000$.$C.P.$ of one-third of the shares $= \frac{1}{3} 	imes 21,000 = ₹ 7,000$.$S.P.$ of one-third of the shares at $10\%$ profit $= 7,000 	imes (1 + \frac{10}{100}) = 7,000 	imes 1.1 = ₹ 7,700$.$C.P.$ of the remaining two-thirds of the shares $= 21,000 - 7,000 = ₹ 14,000$.$S.P.$ of the remaining two-thirds of the shares at $5\%$ loss $= 14,000 	imes (1 - \frac{5}{100}) = 14,000 	imes 0.95 = ₹ 13,300$.Total $S.P. = 7,700 + 13,300 = ₹ 21,000$.Since Total $S.P. = Total C.P. = ₹ 21,000$,there is no profit and no loss.
