Solution
The correct option is C 200 trees Let the number of apple trees be x. Number of trees in the orchard = 240 According to the given condition, 16×23%of240=x ⇒16.66%of240=x ⇒x=16.66100×240 ⇒x=40trees
Number of other types of trees = Total number of trees – number of apple trees = 240 – 40 = 200 trees
