Correct answer is: 46%

Explanation:

C.P. of 12 eggs = Rs.3.75

Therefore, C.P. of 1600 eggs

\(=\Large \frac{3.75 \times 1600}{12} = \text{= Rs. 500}\)

\(\text{S.P. of 900 eggs = }\Large \frac{1}{2} \times 900 = \text{Rs 450}\)

S.P. of remaining 700 eggs

\(= \Large \frac{2}{5} \times 700 = \text{Rs 280}\)

Total S.P. = 450 + 280 = Rs.730

Gain = 730 - 500 = Rs.230

Gain percent =  \(\Large \frac{230}{500} \times 100\)

= 46%
