    A 7.59% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8.24% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9.15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6.26% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ans-8.24

    Solution-

    Cp of 12 bananas=72 Rs

    Now Cp of 1 banana=6

    CP of 186 bananas =6×186=1116

    Rotten bananas =35

    Remaining bananas =186-35=151

    SP of 151 Bananas =151×8=1208

    Profit =1208-1116=92

    Percentage profit = (92/1116) ×100

    =2300/279=8.24%
