Option
A) 100/7% gain
B) 15% gain
C) 100/7% loss
D) 15 % loss

• A. 100/7%;
  
  c.p of 100 oranges = 350
  100 oranges = 100/12 = 8 dozens + 4 oranges
  1 dozens s.p = 48
  8 dozens s.p = 48*8=384
  4 0ranges s.p = 48/12*4 = 16
  100 oranges sp = 400;
  profit = 50

• 100 oranges are bought at the rate of Rs. 350 and sold at the rate of Rs. 48 per dozen.
  
  so CP of 1 orange = Rs 3.5
  SP of 1 orange = Rs 4.0
  Profit = Rs 0.5.
  % profit = 100* 0.5/3.5= 500/35 % = 100/7 % gain .. option A

• cp of 100 orange=350;
  sp of 12 is 48 ie 4 of each now of 100 will be 400
  so profit=400-350=50;
  %profit=pro*100/cp ie 100/7% gain

• cp of 1 oranges is 350/100=3.5
  sp of 1 oranges is 48/12=4
  grain%=0.50/3.5*100=100/7%

• 1/7% profit....
  100 orange=8dozn+4 single orange
  8*48=384, and single orange price =48/12=4,so 4*4=16 so,total =400,
  then profit 400-350=50.........then... 50*100/350=1/7

• we can also solve this problem using formula:: {ad/bc-1)*100
  
  i.e, ( (100*48/350*12) -1) *100
  
  ==>100/7%

• c.p=350
  1 dozen orange s.p rs 48
  1 orange s.p=48/12
  100........... s.p=100*4=400
  profit=400-350=50
  profit%=50/350*100=100/7
