Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are

cost of one apple =$\frac{360}{40}=9$

Similarly,

$\text{cost of one orange}=\frac{360}{60}=6$
Cost of 1 apple - 9; Hence 20 apples costs 9 $\times$ 20 = ₹180


1 orange - 6 then the cost of 40 oranges 6 $\times$ 40 = ₹ 240


20 apples + 40 oranges = 180 + 240 = ₹ 420
