• A. Rs. $20$
• B. Rs. $15$
• C. Rs. $10$
• D. Rs. $40$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Rs. $10$

For Apples, $CP=150,SP=200\Rightarrow Profit=200-150=50Rs$

For Bananas, $CP=80,SP=70\Rightarrow Loss=80-70=10Rs$

For Oranges, $CP=60,SP=40\Rightarrow Loss=60-40=20Rs$

For Pineapples, $CP=100,SP=90\Rightarrow Loss=100-90=10Rs$

$TotalProfit=SumofProfit-SumofLoss=50-(10+20+10)=10Rs$
