A158

B168

C183

D178

Answer:

B. 168

Read Explanation:

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
