Question

The cost of one dozen bananas is ₹ 84. If a man bought bananas worth ₹ 49, then dozen of bananas was bought by him.

• A. 48.34%
• B. 54.49%
• C. 53%
• D. 58.33%

Answer 1

The correct option is D 58.33%

Given, cost of 12 bananas = ₹ 84

$\Rightarrow$ Cost of 1 banana = ₹ $\frac{84}{12}$
= ₹ 7

$\therefore$ Number of bananas that can be bought for ₹ 49 = $\frac{49}{7}$ = 7

$\therefore$ Percentage of a dozen of bananas bought $=\frac{7}{12}\times 100=58.33$
