    Solution

    ATQ,

    Cost price of 4 dozen samosas = Rs. 200

    Selling price of 36 samosas = 36 × (72/12) = Rs. 216

    Selling price of 12 samosas = 12 × (54/12) = Rs. 54

    Selling price of 48 samosas = 216 + 54 = Rs. 270

    Profit earned on selling 48 samosas = 270 – 200 = Rs. 70

    Profit percentage = (70/200) × 100 = 35%
