Question

400 apples were bought at Rs. 125 per hundred and were sold at a profit of Rs. 100. Find the selling price per dozen.

• A. Rs. 20
• B. Rs. 12
• C. Rs. 18
• D. None

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs. 18

Total CP = $4\times 125=Rs.500$

$SP=CP+profit$

$=500+100=Rs.600$

SP of each apples = $\frac{600}{400}=\frac{3}{2}$
SP of dozen apples = $\frac{3}{2}\times 12$ = Rs. 18
