A fruit seller buys 240 apples for Rs. 600. Some of these apples are bad and are thrown away. He sells the remaining apples at Rs. 3.50 each and makes a profit of Rs.198. The percent of apples thrown away are
-
- 6%
- 8%
- 5%
- 7%
Correct Option: C
Here , C.P. of 240 apples = Rs. 600.
| C.P. of an apple = | = Rs. 2.5 | 240 |
S.P. of an apple = Rs. 3.5
Total profit = Rs. 198
Total S.P. = Rs. (600 + 198) = Rs. 798
| ∴ Number of apples sold = | = 228 | 3.5 |
∴ Bad apples = 240 – 228 = 12
| ∴ Required percent = | × 100 = 5 % | 240 |
