A. 6

B. 8

C. 10

D. 12

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Number of rolls sold by noon = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ of 40 dozen = 20 dozen
Number of rolls sold between noon and closing time :
= 60% of 20 dozen
= $$\left( {\frac{{60}}{{100}} \times 20} \right)$$   dozen
= 12 dozen
Number of rolls left unsold :
= [40 - (20 + 12)] dozen
= 8 dozen
