Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of oranges are given as Rs.26/-per dozen

Selling price of 5 oranges =Rs.13

Therefore, selling price of oranges= 13/5

Seling price of 12 oranges = 13/5×12=Rs.31.20 per dozen

Selling price of oranges >cost price of oranges.

So, gain occurs.

Gain on selling a dozen of oranges =S.P−C.P.=31.20−26=5.20

Gain% =Gain×100=5.2×100=52×100=20 %

Gain % = (a) 20 %
