100 guavas were bought at Rs. 1210 per hundred and were sold at a profit of Rs. 965. Find the selling price (in Rs. ) per dozen of guavas.

A.

256

B.

266

C.

261

D.

271

Correct option is C

Given:

100 guavas were bought at Rs. 1210 per hundred.

Profit earned = Rs. 965.

We need to find the selling price per dozen of guavas.

Formula Used:

Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit

Solution:

Cost Price of 100 guavas = Rs. 1210

Profit earned = Rs. 965

Selling Price = 1210 + 965 = 2175

Selling Price per dozen = 2175100×12=261\frac{2175}{100}\times 12 = 261

Thus, the selling price per dozen of guavas is Rs. 261(approximately)
