\(100 \) oranges are bought at the rate of \(Rs. 350\) and sold at the rate of \(Rs. 48\) per dozen. The percentage of profit or loss is:

  • A.Gain 14(2/7) %
  • B.Gain 15 %
  • C.Loss 14(2/7) %
  • D.Loss 15 %

Answer: A

Cost Price of 1 orange \(= Rs. (\frac{350}{100}) = Rs. 3.50\)

Selling Price of  1 orange \(= Rs. (\frac{48}{12}) = Rs. 4\)

\(\therefore\) Gain % = \((\frac{0.50}{3.50} \times 100)\) % \(= \frac{100}{7}\) % \(= 14\frac{2}{7}\) %
