Sarthak Singh · Accepted Answer

Total no of bananas - 600
cost he baught them for - Rs 16 per dozen
Cost of 1 banana - 12 / 16 = 0 75
Total money spent - 0 75 x 600 = Rs450

Cost of 1 banana if 4 are sold for Rs 5 - 4/5 = 0 8
Money earned for selling 200 bananas 4 for Rs 5 - 0 8 x 200
= 160
Cost of 1 banana if 2 are sold for Rs 3 - 3/2 = 1 5
Money earned for selling remaining 400 bananas 2 for Rs 3 - 1 5 x
400
= Rs 600

Money spent for buying - Rs 450
Money earned by selliing - Rs 600
