per dozen. He sold 900 of them at
2 in Re. 1 and remaining at 5 in Rs.
2. His gain percent is : (RRB, 2006)​

Answer 1

Answer:

C.P. of 12 eggs = Rs.3.75

Therefore, C.P. of 1600 eggs

= 3.75×160012 = Rs.500

S.P. of 900 eggs = 12×900 = Rs.450

S.P. of remaining 700 eggs

= 25×700 = Rs.280

Total S.P. = 450 + 280 = Rs.730

Gain = 730 - 500 = Rs.230

Gain percent = 230500×100 = 46%
