​

Answer 1

Answer:

250 ×12=3000

245×15=3675

675 is profit

Answer 2

the cost price=250×12=3000

5 bulbs are fused ,so

total bulbs =245

each bulb solded for ₹15

Now

the selling price=245×15=3675

CP-SP=3675-3000=675

gain=675

now gain percent=gain×100÷CP

=675×100÷3000

=675÷30

=22.5

therefore,the gain percent is 22.5
