The correct Answer is:
To find the gain percent of the fruit seller, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Cost Price (CP) and Selling Price (SP) - The cost price of oranges is given as Rs. 10 per dozen. - The selling price of oranges is given as Rs. 12 per dozen. ### Step 2: Calculate the Gain - Gain can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Gain} = \text{Selling Price} - \text{Cost Price} \] - Substituting the values: \[ \text{Gain} = 12 - 10 = 2 \text{ Rs.} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Gain Percent - Gain percent can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Gain Percent} = \left( \frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{Cost Price}} \right) \times 100 \] - Substituting the values: \[ \text{Gain Percent} = \left( \frac{2}{10} \right) \times 100 = 20\% \] ### Final Answer - The gain percent of the fruit seller is **20%**. ---
