Question

400 apples were bought at INR 1200 per hundred and were sold at a profit of 7800. Find the selling price (in INR) per dozen of apples.

• A. 158
• B. 168
• C. 183
• D. 178

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 168

Cost price per 100 apples = ₹1200
So, cost price per apple = (1200 ÷ 100 = ₹12)

For 400 apples:
Total cost price = (400 × 12 = ₹4800)

Given profit = ₹7800

Total selling price = (4800 + 7800 = ₹12,600)

Selling price per apple = (12600 ÷ 400 = ₹31.50)

Selling price per dozen (12 apples):

31.5 × 12 = 378

Selling price per dozen apples = ₹378
