Answer»

Mayank BUYS some candies for RS 15 a dozen and an equal number of different c

et the number of dozens of candies he bought of each variety be x

Hence total cost = 12x + 15x = 27x

Total selling price = 16.50*2X = 33X

Given 6x = 150 => x = 25

Hence he bought 50 dozens of candies in total.
