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  ​
