Solution : Nalini purchased 20 dozen apples at = ₹48 per dozen Here CP is the cost price and SP is the selling price. CP of 20 dozen apples = 48 × 20 = 960 SP of 8 dozen apples = 48 × 8 = 384 SP of 12 dozen apples = 960 – 384 = 576 Total SP = $\frac{110}{100} \times 384 + \frac{120}{100} \times 576$ = 1113.60 Profit = 1113.60 – 960 = 153.6 Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}×100=\frac{153.6}{960} \times 100= 16\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 16%.
