Question:

A merchant bought 200 eggs, out of which 38 eggs were broken. He sold the remaining eggs at the rate of ₹4.80 per dozen and thus gained 8%. His total investment is?

Options:

₹80

₹60

₹45

₹120

Correct Answer:

₹60

Explanation:

Remaining eggs = 200 - 38 = 162

Investment(CP) = SP X \(\frac{100}{108}\)

=\(\frac{162}{12}\) × 4.80 × \(\frac{100}{108}\) = 60
