Solution

The correct option is B $75$
Let the total number of apples in the basket be $m$ .
$12 %$ of the apples are rotten and apples in good condition are $66$ .
Therefore, $88 %$ of $m$ $= 66$
$\Rightarrow \frac{88}{100} \times m = 66$
$\Rightarrow m = \frac{66 \times 100}{88} = 3 \times 25 = 75$
