Answer» It is given that a vendor buys LEMON at rupees 25 per dozen. So, 12 lemons COST ₹25 Therefore, 1 lemon WOULD cost ₹25/12 Now, SP of 5 lemons=₹12 So, SP of 1 lemon=₹12/5 So, here SP>CP, which means that there is a gain/profit. Now, gain=SP-CP =₹(12/5-25/12) =₹19/60 Now, gain%=Gain/CP×100 =19/60/25/12×100 =76/5% =15.2%

Answer»

It is given that a vendor buys LEMON at rupees 25 per dozen.

So, 12 lemons COST ₹25

Therefore, 1 lemon WOULD cost ₹25/12

Now,

SP of 5 lemons=₹12

So, SP of 1 lemon=₹12/5

So, here SP>CP, which means that there is a gain/profit.

Now, gain=SP-CP

=₹(12/5-25/12)

=₹19/60

Now, gain%=Gain/CP×100

=19/60/25/12×100

=76/5%

=15.2%
