Therefore 100 is equivalent to: (162*100)/75 = 216 That means original price was 216 and the price after decrement is 162. So the person can now buy 2 more dozens of egg by saving 216-162 = 54 Rs. 2 dozens in 54 means 1 dozen in 27. Hence the original price of 1 dozen egg is rs.27. Hence answer is option c
