400 guavas were bought at ₹1240 per hundred and were sold at a profit of ₹940. Find the selling price (in ₹) per dozen of guavas.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 177

CP per 100 = ₹1240

CP of 400 = 4 × 1240 = 4960 

Profit = ₹940

SP of 400 = 4960 + 940 = 5900

SP per guava = 5900 ÷ 400 = 14.75

SP per dozen = 14.75 × 12 = 177
