Mangoes are bought for Rs. 12,000 per ton. If one-third of total mangoes are sold at a loss of 4% then at what price (per ton) should the remaining mangoes be sold to gain 40% on the whole transaction?

Options:

14300

12550

12960

15000

Correct Answer:

12960

C.P. of \(\frac{2}{3}\)rd part = 12000 × \(\frac{2}{3}\) = 8000

S.P of remaining mangos = 8000 × 162% =12960/-
