    400 mangoes were bought at Rs. 1220 per hundred and were sold at a profit of Rs. 820. Find the selling price (in Rs. ) per dozen of mangoes.

    A.

    171

    B.

    186

    C.

    161

    D.

    181

    Correct option is A

    ​Given:
    400 mangoes bought.
    Cost Price (CP) = Rs. 1220 per 100 mangoes.
    Profit = Rs. 820.
    Formula Used:
    Total CP = (No. of mangoes ÷ 100) × CP per 100 mangoes
    Total SP = Total CP + Profit
    SP per mango = Total SP ÷ Total no. of mangoes
    SP per dozen = SP per mango × 12
    Solution:
    Total CP = 400100\frac{400}{ 100} ​× 1220 = 4 × 1220 = 4880
    Total SP = CP + Profit = 4880 + 820 = 5700
    SP per mango =  5700400 \frac{5700}{ 400}​= 14.25
    SP per dozen = 14.25 × 12 = 171
