Question

100 oranges are bought at the rate of Rs. 350 and sold at the rate of Rs. 48 per dozen. The percentage of profit or loss is:

Options:

A . \(14\frac{2}{7}\)% gain

B . 15% gain

C . \(14\frac{2}{7}\)% loss

D . 15 % loss

Answer: Option A

C.P. of 1 orange = Rs. \(\left(\frac{350}{100}\right)\) = Rs. 3.50.

S.P. of 1 orange = Rs. \(\left(\frac{48}{12}\right)\) = Rs. 4

Gain% = \(\left(\frac{0.50}{3.550}\times100\right)\) % = \(\frac{100}{7}\) %= \(14\frac{2}{7}\) %
