Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$33.333\%$

Let Divya purchased $6$ mangoes, $10$oranges and $5$ apples
For $Rs100$
Than cost of $3$ Mangoes, $5$ oranges and $2.5$ apples will be Rs $50$,
But Anu buys $3$M, $5$ O and $4$ A.
ie $1.5$ Apples more and spend Rs $60$
ie. $1.5$ Apples cost Rs$10$
Cost of $15$ apples = Rs$100$
Cost of $5$ apples = $\frac{100}{3}=33.33\%$
