Solution

The correct option is B
₹20
Buying price of apples = ₹100
Total weight of apples = 10 kg
Weight of rotten apples = 2 kg
Weight of remaining apples = 10 kg - 2 kg = 8 kg
Money received after selling 1 kg of apples = ₹15
Total money receievd after selling 8 kg of apples= ₹15 ×8= ₹120
Profit made = ₹120 - ₹100 = ₹20
