Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Case 1

Number of oranges bought at Rs. 10=6

C.P of 1 Orange (C.P)= Rs. 10/6= Rs. 5/3

Case 2:

Number of oranges sold at Rs. 9= 4

S.P of 1 Orange (S.P)= Rs. 9/4

Since C.P>S.P, we have incurred a loss

Therefore, Gain= S.P - C.P = Rs (5/3 - 9/4)= 27-20 / 12= Rs 7/12

Gain percentage= Gain/C.P * 100

                           = (7/12) * 100 / (5/3)

                           =  35%

Hence, option B is correct
