Answer

Answer (as printed): C

Explanation

C.P. of 20 dozen $=₹(48 \times 20)=₹ 960$. C.P. of 8 dozen $=₹(48 \times 8)=₹ 384$. C.P. of 12 dozen $=₹(960-384)=₹ 576$. Total S.P. $=₹\left(\frac{110}{100} \times 384+\frac{120}{100} \times 576\right)=₹ 1113.60$. $$\text { ∴ Profit } \%=\left(\frac{153.60}{960} \times 100\right) \%=16 \% .$$
