Answer 1

Profit = 20%
i.e. he has to sell those 45 dozens for total of 600+ (20% of 600) = 720

Answer 2

cost price of 50 doz bananas = 600 rs
profit = 20%
Total sale price = 120% of 600 = 600 * (120/100) = 720 rs
Quantity available for sale = 50 - 5 = 45 doz
sale price of banana = Total sale price / quantity = (720/45) = 16 rs per dozen
So he should sell remaining 45 dozen good bananas at a price of Rs 16 / dozen to make a profit of 20%
