Ram bought 800 eggs at Rs. 3.75 each per dozen. He sold 450 of them at 2 for Rs. 1 and remaining at 5 for Rs. 2. His gain % is?

Correct Answer: 46%

Explanation:

Total CP = (3.75/12) x 800 = (375/1200) x 800 = Rs. 250
Total SP = (1/2) x 450 + (2/5) x 350 = 225 + 140 = Rs. 365
Gain = 365 - 250 = Rs. 115
Gain percentage = (115/250) x 100% = 46%
