    A.

    192

    B.

    177

    C.

    187

    D.

    167

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Total pears bought = 400
    Cost per 100 pears = Rs. 1250
    Profit = Rs. 900
    Solution:
    If 100 pears cost Rs. 1250, then:
    CP of 400 pears = 1250 × 4 = Rs. 5000
    SP = CP + Profit = 5000 + 900 = Rs. 5900
    Selling Price per dozen = 5900400×12=Rs.177\frac{5900}{400}\times 12 = Rs. 177
