Question

400 guavas were bought at Rs. 1230 per hundred and were sold at a profit of Rs. 880. Find the selling price (in Rs. ) per dozen of guavas.

A.

164

B.

184

C.

174

D.

189

Correct option is C

Given:

Number of guavas = 400

Cost price = ₹1230 per 100 guavas

Profit = ₹880

We are to find the selling price per dozen (12 guavas).

Formula Used:

Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit

Solution:

Total CP = 4 × ₹1230 = ₹4920

Total SP = ₹4920 + ₹880 = ₹5800

SP per guava = 5800400\frac{5800}{ 400}​ = ₹14.5

SP per dozen = ₹14.5 × 12 = ₹174
