Correct option is C

Given:
Cost Price of 100 guavas is Rs. 1240.
Total number of guavas is 400.
Profit made is Rs. 940.
Formula Used:
Total Cost Price=Cost Price per 100 guavas×(Total number of guavas100)\text{Total Cost Price} = \text{Cost Price per 100 guavas} \times \left(\frac{\text{Total number of guavas}}{100}\right)​​
Selling Price = Total Cost Price + Profit
Selling Price per Dozen=Total Selling PriceTotal number of guavas12\text{Selling Price per Dozen} = \frac{\text{Total Selling Price}}{\frac{\text{Total number of guavas}}{12}}​​
Solution:
Total Cost Price of 4800 guavas = 1240×(400100)=1240×4=49601240 \times \left(\frac{400}{100}\right) = 1240 \times 4 = 4960​​
Total Selling Price of 4800 guavas = 4960 + 940 = 5900
Selling Price of 1 guava = 5900400\frac{5900}{400}

Selling Price per Dozen = 5900400×12=177\frac{5900}{400} \times 12 = 177 ​​
The selling price per dozen of guavas is Rs. 177
