Correct Answer: 45.625%
Solution : Let us find the total sale first. Sold 900 mangoes at INR 15 per mango. $\therefore$ Sale = 900$\times$15 = INR 13500 The remaining mangoes (700) at INR 14 per mango Sale = 700$\times$14 = INR 9800 Total sale = 13500 + 9800 = INR 23300 He bought 1600 mangoes for 120 per dozen. The cost price of each mango = $\frac{120}{12}$= INR 10 So, the cost price of 1600 mangoes = 10$\times$1600 = INR 16000 $\therefore$ Profit = 23300 – 16000 = INR 7300 $\therefore$ Gain percentage = $\frac{7300}{16000}\times 100 = 45.625\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 45.625%.
