Correct Answer: 200%
Solution : The cost price of 1 dozen bananas = INR $Y$ Selling price of 1 banana = INR $\frac{Y}{4}$ Selling price of 1 dozen banana = INR $\frac{Y}{4}\times12 = 3Y$ Gain = selling price – cost price = $3Y$ – $Y$ = $2Y$ Gain percentage = $\frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{cost price}}\times 100$% = $\frac{2Y}{Y}\times 100$% = 200% Hence, the correct answer is 200%.
