Question

A man bought some oranges at Rs.10 per dozen and bought the same number of oranges at Rs.8 per dozen. He sold these oranges at Rs.11 per dozen and gained Rs.120. The total number of oranges he bought was:

• A. 30 dozens
• B. 40 dozens
• C. 50 dozens
• D. 60 dozens

Answer 1

The correct option is D 60 dozens

C.P. of 2 dozen oranges=$10+8=18Rs.$
S.P of 2 dozen oranges=$11\times 2=22Rs.$
$Profit=22-18=4Rs.$
If profit is 4 Rs. then oranges brought=2 dozen
If profit is 120 Rs. then oranges brought=$\frac{2}{4}\times 120=60dozen$
