Answer 2

He should sell the remaining tea set for 400 rupees per set to earn a profit of 1200 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The cost price of 50 pieces of tea sets is, $CP=Rs.\ 18000$

Profit is$P=Rs.\ 1200$

Now, Selling Price is given as the sum of cost price and profit.

Therefore, Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit

Selling Price = 18000 + 1200 = Rs. 19200

Now, selling price for 48 pieces is Rs. 19200.

Therefore, selling price for 1 piece is, $SP=\frac{19200}{48}=Rs.\ 400$

Hence, he should sell the remaining tea set for 400 rupees per set to earn a profit of 1200 rupees.
