Answer 1

Given that By selling 12 oranges for a rupee, a man loses 20%.

We know that cost price = 100/(100 - Loss%) * SP

                                         = 100/(100 - 20) * 1

                                         = 100/80 * 1

                                         = 1.25 rupees.


Given New selling price of an orange is 120% of CP.

= 120/100 * 1.25

= 1.5 rupees.


If 12 oranges sold for 1 rupees.

So, for 1 rupee he must sell = 1/1.5 * 12

                                              = 8.


Therefore for one rupee, he should sell 8 oranges.


Hope this helps!
