Correct Answer: 18.18%
Solution : Selling price of 12 bananas = Rs. 13 Profit = 30% Cost price of 12 bananas = $13\times\frac{100}{130}$ = Rs. 10 The cost price of the bananas increases by 10% = $\frac{110}{100}\times10$ = Rs. 11 Profit = Selling price – Cost price = 13 – 11 = Rs. 2 Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost price}}× 100$% = $\frac{2}{11}× 100$% = 18.18% Hence, the correct answer is 18.18%.
