100 orange = 350rs
1 orange = 3.5 rs
For 1 dozzen orange c.p = 3.5 * 12 = 42 rs.
For 1 dozzen orrange s.p = 48 rs.
Therefore profit = Rs. 6.
Therefore profit% = profit/c.p * 100,
= 6/42 * 100,
= 14 * 2/7.
1 orange = 3.5 rs
For 1 dozzen orange c.p = 3.5 * 12 = 42 rs.
For 1 dozzen orrange s.p = 48 rs.
Therefore profit = Rs. 6.
Therefore profit% = profit/c.p * 100,
= 6/42 * 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.
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.

CP of 100 = Rs.350.
CP of 1 = 350/100.
= 7/2.
SP of 12 = Rs.48.
CP of 12 = 7/2*12.
Rs.48.
G=SP-CP
= 48-42
= 6.
G% = 6/42*100
= 14 2/7.
CP of 1 = 350/100.
= 7/2.
SP of 12 = Rs.48.
CP of 12 = 7/2*12.
Rs.48.
G=SP-CP
= 48-42
= 6.
G% = 6/42*100
= 14 2/7.

@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.

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.

Totally 100 oranges total amount 350.
Sold 12 as 48 one as 48/12=4 so 100 sold as 400.
Profit 400-350 = 50.
Profit % = 50/350*100 = 100/7 = 14 2/7%.
Sold 12 as 48 one as 48/12=4 so 100 sold as 400.
Profit 400-350 = 50.
Profit % = 50/350*100 = 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.
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.

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)
