Calculation:

Total Cost Price = 750 + 650 + 450 + 550 + 350 + 850 = 3600

Total Profit = 250 + 200 + 350 + 450 + 300 + 400 = 1950

P1 = 3600 - 1950 = 1650

The total cost price of A and B = 750 + 650 = 1400

The total selling price of E and F = 350 + 300 + 850 + 400 = 1900

P2 = 1900 - 1400 = 500

P1 - P2 = 1650 - 500 = 1150

∴ Option 3 is the correct answer.
