    Question

    400 oranges were bought at Rs. 1250 per hundred and were sold at a profit of Rs. 1000. Find the selling price (in Rs.) per dozen of oranges.

    A.

    180

    B.

    190

    C.

    195

    D.

    170

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    400 oranges; cost = Rs. 1250 per 100
    Profit = Rs. 1000 
    Formula Used:
    Total CP=(number100)×CP per 100 Total SP=Total CP+Profit SP per dozen=(Total SPnumber)×12 \text{Total CP} = \left(\frac{\text{number}}{100}\right) \times \text{CP per 100}\\\ \\\text{Total SP} = \text{Total CP} + \text{Profit}\\\ \\\text{SP per dozen} = \left(\frac{\text{Total SP}}{\text{number}}\right) \times 12\\\ \\​​
    Solution:
    Total CP = 4 × 1250 = 5000
    Total SP = 5000 + 1000 = 6000
    SP per orange = 6000 ÷ 400 = 15
    SP per dozen = 15 × 12 = 180
