400 mangoes were bought at ₹1210 per hundred and were sold at a profit of ₹960. Find the selling price (in ₹) per dozen of mangoes.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e.174.
Cost Price of 400 mangoes = (₹1210 per 100) × 4 = ₹4840
Profit = ₹960
Selling Price (Total) = ₹4840 + ₹960 = ₹5800
Now, 400 mangoes = 400 ÷ 12 = 33.33 dozens
Selling price per dozen = ₹5800 ÷ 33.33 ≈ ₹174
