    Question

    A shopkeeper purchased 1600 mangos at the rate of ₹ 120 per dozen. Out of these, he sold 900 mangoes at ₹15 per mango and the remaining mangoes at ₹14 per mango. His gain percentage is:

    A.

    48.765%

    B.

    38.265%

    C.

    45.625%

    D.

    35.625%

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    ​Total number of mangoes purchased = 1600
    Cost price per dozen = ₹120
    900 mangoes are sold at ₹15 per mango.
    Remaining mangoes (1600 - 900 = 700) are sold at ₹14 per mango.
    Formula Used:
    Cost Price (CP) = Number of dozens of mangoes × Price per dozen.
    Profit % (Gain %) = SPCPCP×100\frac{\text{SP} - \text{CP}}{\text{CP}} \times 100  ​
