Question

400 pears were bought at Rs. 1230 per hundred and were sold at a profit of Rs. 980. Find the selling price (in Rs. ) per dozen of pears.

A.

192

B.

187

C.

167

D.

177

Correct option is D

Given:
Total pears bought = 400
Cost per 100 pears = Rs. 1230
Profit = Rs. 980
Solution:
If 100 pears cost Rs. 1230, then:
CP of 400 pears = 1230 × 4 = Rs. 4920
SP = CP + Profit = 4920 + 980 = Rs. 5900
Selling Price per dozen = 5900400×12=Rs.177\frac{5900}{400}\times 12 = Rs. 177​​
