Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{C}}{\text{.P}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{1}}\,{\text{orange}}\, \cr
& = Rs.\,\left( {\frac{{350}}{{100}}} \right) = Rs.\,3.50 \cr
& {\text{S}}{\text{.P}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{1}}\,{\text{orange}} \cr
& = Rs.\,\left( {\frac{{48}}{{12}}} \right) = Rs.\,4 \cr
& \therefore {\text{Gain}}\% = \left( {\frac{{0.50}}{{3.50}} \times 100} \right)\% \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{100}}{7}\% \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 14\frac{2}{7}\% \cr} $$
