Correct Answer: Rs. 32 per dozen
Solution : The cost price of 4 dozen eggs at Rs. 24 per dozen = 4 × 24 = Rs. 96 and the cost price of 2 dozen eggs at Rs. 32 per dozen = 2 × 32 = Rs. 64 Total money spent = 96 + 64 = Rs. 160 for 6 dozen To earn 20% profit, the selling price of 6 dozen eggs = $\frac{120}{100}$ × 160 = Rs. 192 $\therefore$ selling price of eggs per dozen = $\frac{192}{6}$ = Rs. 32 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 32 per dozen.
