Q1. A fruit vendor purchased 20 dozens of bananas at Rs. 15 per dozen. But one-fourth of the bananas were rotten and had to be thrown away. He sold two-third of the remaining bananas at Rs. 22.50 per dozen. At what price per dozen should he sell the remaining
Answer: Rs. 15
Explanation: Cost = Rs. 300; after discarding 60 rotten bananas, 15 dozen remain; selling 10 dozen at Rs. 22.50 = Rs. 225 leaves Rs. 75 needed from 5 dozen, requiring Rs. 15 per dozen.
