Step-by-step explanation:
Cost Price of 2 dozen oranges Rs. (5 + 4) = Rs. 9.
Sell price of 2 dozen oranges = Rs. 11.
If profit is Rs 2, oranges bought = 2 dozen.
If profit is Rs. 50, oranges bought = (2/2) * 50
dozens = 50 dozens.

Answer:
let man buys x dozens oranges of 5 rs dozen
so its cost price is 5x rs
let man buys x dozens oranges of 4 rs dozen
so its cost price is 4x rs
so total cost price is = 5x + 4x = 9x
let man sells 2x dozens oranges of 5.5 rs dozen
so total selling price is 11x rs
now profit = 11x - 9x =50
2x = 50
x = 25
so man buys 25 dozen of each type
i.e. 50 dozen
