400 apples were bought at ₹1200 per hundred and were sold at a profit of ₹800. Find the selling price (in ₹) per dozen of apples.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 168.
Cost price of 400 apples = ₹1200 per 100 × 4 = ₹4800
Profit = ₹800
Selling price = 4800 + 800 = ₹5600
Number of dozens = 400 ÷ 12 ≈ 33.33
Selling price per dozen = 5600 ÷ 33.33 ≈ ₹168
