Question

Eight oranges can be bought for Rs $10.40$, then how many more oranges can be bought for Rs $16.90$?

• A. $5$ oranges
• B. $3$ oranges
• C. $7$ oranges
• D. $2$ oranges

Answer 1

The correct option is A $5$ oranges

Let $x$ oranges be bought for Rs.$\mathrm{16.90.}$

Given, eight oranges are bought for Rs.$\mathrm{10.40.}$

Then, $\frac{8}{x}=\frac{10.40}{16.90}$

$⟹x=\frac{16.90\times 8}{10.40}=13$

Then, $(13-8)=5$ more oranges can be bought.
