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).

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)

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.
