(Correct to two places of decimal)

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%
