400 chickooes were bought at ₹1250 per hundred and were sold at a profit of ₹800. Find the selling price (in ₹) per dozen of chickooes.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 174.
Bought 400 chickooes ⇒ 1250 per 100
⇒ Cost = 1250 × 4 = 5000
Profit = 800
⇒ SP = 5000 + 800 = 5800
SP per chickoo ⇒ 5800 ÷ 400 = 14.5
SP per dozen ⇒ 14.5 × 12 = 174
