Solution

The correct option is B 29.66%
Cost price of apple=Rs.20per Kg
cost price of 100kg apples =Rs 100×20
=Rs.2000
25 apples of 100 kg =25×100=40 kgs
Selling price of 40 kg =93 percentage of C.P of 40 kg
=93100×800
=RS.744
Required selling price to get total profit 15percentage
=115 percentage of total cost price
=115100×2000
=RS.2300
Selling price of remaining 60 kg
=Rs.(2300744)
=Rs.1556
Requried profit =(15561200)
=Rs.356
Profit percentage =3561200×100
=29.66percentage
