number of oranges = 200
1 score = 20 oranges
cost of 1 score = Rs.120
cost of oranges = 200/20 x 120 = Rs.1200
cost of 1 orange = 1200/200 = Rs.6
number of rotten oranges = 25
number of healthy ones = 175
money gained (S.P) by selling oranges at Rs.5 each = 175 x 5 = Rs.875
therefore, loss = C.P - S.P = Rs.1200 - Rs.875 = Rs.325
