A man bought some mangoes at Rs12 per dozen and bought the same number of at Rs 10 per kg. He sold these mangoes at Rs 13 per dozen and gained Rs 160.The total number of mangos bought by him are

Option
A. 60 dozens
B. 70 dozens
C. 80 dozens
D. 90 dozens

• let total no of mangoes is 2x..
  then we profit=sp-cp
  160=13*2x-(12x+10x)
  160=4x
  x=40
  hence 2x=80
  so total no are 80dozens

• 80 dozens
  by option verfication divide 80 dz in to 40 40
  first 40 is sold for rs12 so 40*12=480
  second 40 dozens is sold for rs 10 per kg=40*10=400
  480+400=880
  80 dozens sold for rs13 by men so 80*13=1040
  so now subtract 1040-880=160
  so profit is 160

• (12*12=144, 10*12=120, 144+120=244)therefore here each dozen=264/24=11
  new price 13 therefore 13-11=2rs
  1dozen =====>2rs
  ? =======> 160rs
  therefore no of mangos for 160 ra gain is (1602)*1=80 dozens

• avg of both 11
  then 13-11= 2
  total mangoes is 160/2=80

• 40(12)+40(10)=880
  80(13)=1040
  since here the gain is 160
  the answer should be "c" i.e 80 dozens

• x+x=2x (total mangoes)
  then,
  profit =s.p-c.p
  so, 160=(13*2x-(12x=10x))= 40=x
  then, 2x=80, he bought total 80 dozones mangoes

• C.80 dozens
  cost price/dozens=(12+10)/2=11
  sell price=13
  profit/dozens=2
  so 160/2=80 dozens he brought
