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).

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Buyed 100 oranges = Rs 350,
1 orange = 3.5 sold.
12 oranges = Rs 48, 1 orange = 4.
From above you observed bought and sold off 1 oranges 3.5 to 4.
There is a profit of 0.5.
0.5/c.p = 0.5/3.5 = 1/7 = in percentage 100/7 = we get 14 2/7.
1 orange = 3.5 sold.
12 oranges = Rs 48, 1 orange = 4.
From above you observed bought and sold off 1 oranges 3.5 to 4.
There is a profit of 0.5.
0.5/c.p = 0.5/3.5 = 1/7 = in percentage 100/7 = we get 14 2/7.
