    B.

    177

    C.

    187

    D.

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Cost Price of 100 chickooes = Rs. 1260
    Total chickooes bought = 400
    Profit = Rs. 860
    Formula Used:
    Total Cost Price=(Number of chickooes100)×Price per 100\text{Total Cost Price} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of chickooes}}{100} \right) \times \text{Price per 100}
    Total Selling Price = Total Cost Price + Profit
    Selling Price per dozen=(Total Selling PriceTotal number of chickooes)×12\text{Selling Price per dozen} = \left( \frac{\text{Total Selling Price}}{\text{Total number of chickooes}} \right) \times 12
    Solution:
    Total Cost Price =(400100)×1260=4×1260=5040\left( \frac{400}{100} \right) \times 1260 = 4 \times 1260 = 5040
    Total Selling Price = 5040 + 860 = Rs. 5900
    Selling Price per dozen =(5900400)×12=14.75×12=Rs.177\left( \frac{5900}{400} \right) \times 12 = 14.75 \times 12 = \text {Rs.}177
