Answer:
1. Total cost of eggs bought: 4 dozen * ₹4/dozen = ₹16.
2. Broken eggs cost: 7 eggs out of 4 dozen, so 7/48 * ₹16 = ₹2.33 (approximately).
3. Cost of remaining unbroken eggs: ₹16 - ₹2.33 = ₹13.67.
4. To gain a 10% profit on the whole, profit should be 10% of the total cost: 10% of ₹16 = ₹1.60.
5. Selling price for remaining eggs: ₹13.67 + ₹1.60 = ₹15.27.
6. Selling price per dozen: ₹15.27 / (48 - 7) eggs = ₹0.35 (approximately) per egg.
So, the vendor should sell the remaining eggs at approximately ₹0.35 per egg or ₹4.20 per dozen to gain a 10% profit on the whole.
