Question

• A. 167
• B. 177
• C. 187
• D. 192

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 177

Find Cost Price (CP)

Given:

• 100 chickoos cost ₹1260

• So, 400 chickoos cost:

$CP = 1260 \times 4 = 5040$

Add profit

SP = 5040 + 860 = 5900

Find SP per chickoo

$\text{SP per chickoo} = \frac{5900}{400} = 14.75$

Find SP per dozen (12 chickoos)

$\text{SP per dozen} = 14.75 \times 12 = 177$

Final Answer: ₹177 per dozen
