10% of 200 eggs = 20eggs was bad

200-20 = 180 eggs left

3 eggs for RS 3

180 eggs for 180×3/3 = RS 180

Dear friend, the question is doubtful. As he bought eggs at what rate

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price of 200 eggs at rate ₹2 per egg= 2×200

=400

now 10% eggs were bad

= 10% of 200

= 10× 200/100

= 20 eggs

now selling price of 180 eggs at the rate of ₹3 per egg

=3×180

=540

Here selling price is greater than cost price

hence profit...

now profit = SP. - CP

= 540-400

= ₹140

now profit% = (profit)/CP ×100

=(140×100)/400

= 140/4

= 35% Ans......
