Solution

Given, S.P of $4$ oranges $= R s 3$
And for these $4$ oranges, Profit $= 50$ %
So, Profit % $= \frac{S . P . - C . P .}{C . P .} \times 100 = 50$
$=> \frac{3 - C . P}{C . P} \times 100 = 50$
$=> 3 - C . P . = 0.5 C . P .$
$=> 1.5 C . P . = 3$
$C . P . = 2$
Hence, cost of $4$ oranges $= R s 2$
And cost of $1$ orange $= R s \frac{2}{4} = R s 0.50$
And S.P. of $1$ orange $= R s \frac{3}{4} = R s 0.75$
So, profit per orange $S . P . - C . P . = R s 0.75 - R s 0.5 - 0 = R s 0.25$
