• A. $2$
• B. $5$
• C. $4$
• D. $6$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $4$

Deepak bought $12$ oranges for Rs.$7.20$

Thus, cost of one orange =Rs.$\frac{7.20}{12}$=Rs $0.60$

Vimal bought $x$ oranges more than Deepak's for Rs.$9.60$

Number of oranges Vimal bought=$\frac{9.60}{0.60}=16$

$x$= Number of oranges Vimal bought - Number of oranges Deepak bought

$x=16-12=4$

$x=4$
