      A 7.59% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 8.24% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 9.15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 6.26% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Ans-8.24

      Solution-

      Cp of 12 bananas=72 Rs

      Now Cp of 1 banana=6

      CP of 186 bananas =6×186=1116

      Rotten bananas =35

      Remaining bananas =186-35=151

      SP of 151 Bananas =151×8=1208

      Profit =1208-1116=92

      Percentage profit = (92/1116) ×100

      =2300/279=8.24%
