(A)4.258
(B) 4.33
(c)4.167
(D) 4.52​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is (c)

Step-by-Step-Explanation:

Here, cost of one box is Rs 160

S, total cost one 12 boxes is Rs 12 * 160 = Rs 1920

Two boxes were damaged, and now he increased the rate and made it Rs 200 per box.

So he gained( by selling the remain ) = Rs 200 * ( 12 - 2 ) = Rs 2000

Total profit = Rs 2000 - Rs 1920

Total profit = Rs 80

Profit % = profit * 100% / CP

Profit % = Rs 80 * 100% / Rs 1920

Profit % = 4.167
