Question

Ramesh bought a dozen of eggs for 24 rupees from a farmer, how much should he sell each egg for to make a profit of 50%?

• A. Rs. 3
• B. Rs. 2
• C. Rs. 4
• D. Rs. 1

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Rs. 3

Cost price of 12 eggs = Rs. 24

Profit = 50% = $\frac{50}{100}\times 24$ = Rs. 12

Selling price of 12 eggs = C.P.+ Profit = 24 +12 = Rs. 36

Selling price of 1 egg = $\frac{36}{12}$ = Rs. 3
