Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs. 35 Given: Total no. of eggs purchased = 600 Price per dozen = Rs. 25 50 eggs were broken on the way. A profit of 30% on whole has to be made. Formula Used: Profit% = Profit/CP × 100 Loss% = Loss/CP × 100 Calculation: Price per egg = Rs. (25/12) Total CP of eggs = Rs. (600 × 25/12) = Rs. 1250 Total profit required = Rs. (1250 × 30/100) = Rs. 375 So, total Selling price = Rs. (1250 + 375) = Rs. 1625 50 eggs are broken, remaining eggs = 600 – 50 = 550 SP of 1 egg = Rs. (1625/550) SP of 1 dozen eggs = Rs. (1625/550 × 12) = Rs. (390/11) = Rs. 35.45 ≈ Rs. 35 ∴ Selling price of eggs per dozen is Rs. 35 approximately. |
