100 orng = 350 rs
1 orng = 3.5 rs.
12 orng ( 1 dozen) = 3.5 *12 = 42 rs.
cop of 1 dozen 42
aND sp of 1 dozen 48.
p% = 6/42*100= 100/7.
I.E 4*2/7.

SP of 12 oranges is 48.
SP of 1 Orange is 4.
Sp of 100 oranges is 400.

Gain= sp - cp = 400 - 350 = 50.
Gain% = 50 * 100/350 = ans(A)

Simple one:
If selling prize for 12 orange is Rs 48;
Then the selling prize for 100 orange is ?

Therefore, sp=(100*48) /12,
=400.
Here, the sp is more than cp so it is profit.
i.e, profit= 400 - 350 = 50.

Profit percentage= (50/350) *100= 14(2/7).

Here 100 oranges =350.
So c.p of 100 oranges =350.
S.p= 48/12=4.

1 orange of s.p is 4 rupees and 100 oranges of s.p is 400,
We know the formula p= 400-350=50,
%p=50/350*100=100/7,
I.e 100/7= 14*2/7.

1 dozen = 12.
C.P of 100 oranges = 350.
S.P of 12 oranges = 48.
C.P of 12 oranges = (350/100)*12 = 42.
Profit percentage = (48-42)/42*100 = 14 2/7.

1 orange =350/100 = 3.50.
SP of orange = 48/12 = 4,
%gain = profit/CP * 100.
%gain =0.50/3.50 * 100=14 2/7.

C.P of 100 oranges = 350,
S.P of 100 oranges = 48 per dozen,
48/12 = 4.
S.P of 100 oranges = 100 X 4 = 400,
Then, difference is 400 - 350 = 50,
50/350 X 100 = 14.27 Ans.

100 orange =350rps.
C.p of 1 orange= 350/100 = 3.50.
S.p =Rs 48 per dozens.
It means s.p of 1orange = 48/12.
The s.p of 1 orange = 4.

Now,
S.p of 1 orange =4.
C.p of 1 orange =3.50.
Gain = S.P - C.P.
=4 - 3.50.
=0.5.

Gain% = (Gain * 100/C.p),
= (0.5*100/3.5),
= 14.27.

@Dhiraj shah.
SP of 1 orange = 48/12 => 4 (1 dozen =12 oranges).
CP of 1 0range = 350/100 => 3.5.
profit = 4-3.5 (SP -CP) => 0.5.
profit % = (0.5/3.5)*100=14 *2/7.
