Answer»

(C) Rs. 8

12 oranges sales price = 1Rs

1 orange sales price = 1 / 12 Rs

S. P of one orange = 1 / 12 Rs

Loss = 20%

Cp = 

If SP is 80 Rs. then CP = 100Rs

If SP is Rs. 1 then CP = 100 / 80 Rs

If SP is Rs. 1/12 then CP = 5 / 48 Rs

For 20% gain S.P of one orange = 5/48 x 120/100 = 1/8 Rs

In Rs.1, He should sell 8 oranges
