Question 5
Hemant buys a dozen eggs for ₹ 5.50 per egg. While carrying them, two eggs get wasted when they fall down and get damaged. He sells the balance eggs at 7.70 per egg. Find the net profit earned by him in the overall deal.
Solution
Cost price of the dozen eggs = 5.50 $$\times$$ 12 = 66
Number of eggs Hemant sells = 12 - 2 = 10
($$\because$$ 2 eggs get damaged)
Selling price of 10 eggs = 7.70 $$\times$$ 10 = 77
Profit = 77 - 66 = ₹ 11
$$\therefore$$ The correct answer is option A.
