    Question

    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)
