Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Bags of grapes sold=900

loss due to sale of grapes=900x4=3600

profit on sale of one bag of orange=6

to have no profit/no loss, the shopkeeper should earn a profit of Rs 3600 by selling bags of oranges

number of bags of orange to be sold to overcome loss of 3600=3600/6=600 bags
