Answer»

answer is 62 this is wrong

Cost price of eggs CP = 5*36= Rs 180

Now,5% eggs get broken So, remaining eggs= 5*12(1 - 5/100)= 60 * 19/20= 19*3= 57

Now selling price of 12 eggs= 48Selling price of 1 egg = 48/12= 4

Selling price of 57 eggs SP= 4*57 = Rs 228

Total gain = SP - CP= 228 - 180 = Rs 48
