400 apples were bought at ₹1210 per hundred and were sold at a profit of ₹860. Find the selling price (in ₹) per dozen of apples.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 171.
Total apples = 400
Cost price per 100 apples = 1210
CP of 400 apples = 1210 × 4 = 4840
Profit = 860 → Total SP = CP + Profit = 4840 + 860 = 5700
SP per apple = 5700 ÷ 400 = 14.25
SP per dozen = 14.25 × 12 = 171
