Question

A man buy 6 oranges for rs 3 nd sell 5 oranges for rs 3 find profit

Answer 1

for 6 oranges = 3rs

for 5 oranges = 5×3/6 = 2.5 rs

Thus C.P of 5 oranges = 2.5 rs

and S.P for 6 oranges = 3 rs

Profit = S.P - C.P = 3 - 2.5 = 0.5 rs

Answer 2

C.P. of 1 orange = rs. (3/6)

                          = rs. (1/2)

S.P. of 1 orange = rs. (3/5)

So, PROFIT = rs.{(3/5)-(1/2)}

              = rs.{(6-5)/10}

              = rs.(1/10)

              = rs. 0.10

(Ans): 0.10
