Answer:

B. 177

Read Explanation:

Find Cost Price (CP)

Given:

  • 100 chickoos cost ₹1260

  • So, 400 chickoos cost:

CP=1260×4=5040CP = 1260 \times 4 = 5040

Add profit

SP = 5040 + 860 = 5900

Find SP per chickoo


SP per chickoo=5900400=14.75\text{SP per chickoo} = \frac{5900}{400} = 14.75

Find SP per dozen (12 chickoos)

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

Final Answer: ₹177 per dozen
