c) Rs 20
d) Rs 12​

Answer 1

Answer:

12.5rs

Step-by-step explanation:

given 20oranges+12 apples=320rs

think oranges and apples as same price

so 32 X=320

x=10rs

20oranges cost=200rs

12 apples=120rs(10 rs each)

oranges sold at 4 % profit which is 208rs(200+8)

and apples at 25%profit which is 150rs(120+30)

so profit values is 8+30 whch is 38 given in question ..

so now 1 apple cost is 12.5rs   (150/12=12.5rs)
