    Explanation:

    - The shopkeeper buys 50 dozen cups for Rs. 3000. So, cost per dozen = Rs. 3000/50 = Rs. 60.

    - 60 cups break. This means 60 cups out of 600 are wasted, leaving 540 cups.

    - These 540 cups equal 45 dozen (since 540/12 = 45).

    - To achieve a 20% profit, the shopkeeper aims for a total selling price of Rs. 3000 + (20% of 3000) = Rs. 3600.

    - Thus, selling price per dozen = Rs. 3600/45 = Rs. 80.

    - Therefore, option 3: Rs. 80 is the correct rate per dozen.

    - Options 1, 2, and 4 do not meet the necessary profit margin of 20%.
