10 oranges for 30 means 1 orange =3
he sells 12 orange for 42
he should hav sold it for 12×3=36
but he sold it for 42
thus its a gain(42-36=6)

nw gain percentage =profit/cp×100
=6/36×100
600/36=16.6666...

itsmeaysha: hey..i am really srry this answer is wrong...i didnt actually see the qn properly....thus...pls report if u wnt....other wise pls leave it...

The cost price of 10 oranges=30Rs
Selling price of 12 oranges. =42Rs

gain=s.p. - c.p.
=42-30
=12Rs

gain %=gain×100÷c.p.
=12×100÷30
=40
