Solution

Cost price of oranges are given as Rs.26/-per dozen

Selling price of 5 oranges =Rs.13

Therefore, selling price of oranges= 13/5

Seling price of 12 oranges $= \frac{13}{5} \times 12 = R s .31 .20$ per dozen

Selling price of oranges >cost price of oranges.

So, gain occurs.

Gain on selling a dozen of oranges $= S . P - C . P . = 31.20 - 26 = 5.20$

Gain% $= G a i n \times 100 = 5.2 \times 100 = 52 \times 100 = 20$ %
