• A. 195
• B. 205
• C. 210
• D. 185

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 195

1. Calculate the total cost price:

• Cost price per hundred chickooes = ₹1410

• Number of hundreds of chickooes = 400 / 100 = 4

• Total cost price = 4 * ₹1410 = ₹5640

2. Calculate the total selling price:

• Total profit = ₹860

• Total selling price = Total cost price + Total profit

• Total selling price = ₹5640 + ₹860 = ₹6500

3. Calculate the selling price per chickoo:

• Total number of chickooes = 400

• Selling price per chickoo = Total selling price / Total number of chickooes

• Selling price per chickoo = ₹6500 / 400 = ₹16.25

4. Calculate the selling price per dozen:

• Number of chickooes in a dozen = 12

• Selling price per dozen = Selling price per chickoo * Number of chickooes in a dozen

• Selling price per dozen = ₹16.25 * 12 = ₹195

Therefore, the selling price per dozen of chickooes is ₹195.
