Shashi loses 25% by selling oranges at the rate of Rs. 150 per dozen. At what rate should she sell them to get a profit of 20%?
Detailed Explanation:
Selling at Rs. 150 per dozen with 25% loss means SP = 75% of CP. Thus, CP = 150 × (100/75) = Rs. 200 per dozen.
For 20% profit, required SP = 120% of CP = 200 × 1.20 = Rs. 240 per dozen.
Therefore, Option 2 is the correct answer.
