Answer 2

Answer:Rs.4

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P. of 50 dozen bananas = Rs. 150

No. of dozens rotten= 5

No. of dozen remaining=45

Profit %= 20

S.P.= 100+Profit%  × C.P.

               100

       =100+20  ×150

               100

       =120 ÷ 100 ×150

       = 180

S.P. of 1 dozen= 180÷ 45

                          =4
