A man bought 4 dozen eggs at Rs. 24 per dozen and 2 dozen eggs at Rs. 32 per dozen. To gain 20% on the whole, he should sell the eggs at

1. Rs. 16 per dozen
2. Rs. 21 per dozen
3. Rs. 32 per dozen
4. Rs. 35 per dozen

Correct Option: C

Here , C.P. of 4 dozens of eggs at the rate of Rs. 24 per dozen = Rs. (24 × 4) = Rs. 96
C.P. of 2 dozens of eggs at Rs. 32 per dozen = Rs. (32 × 2) = Rs. 64
Total C.P. of 6 dozens of eggs = Rs. (96 + 64) = Rs. 160

S.P. for 20% profit =			160 × 120		= Rs. 192
			100

∴ S.P. per dozen =	192	= Rs. 32
