Answer 1

Answer:

Answer 2

Given that :- Selling price for per Lemons,

$= \frac{40}{45}$

$= Rs. 0.88$

Let's suppose $CP$ for per lemon was $Rs. X$,

$SP = CP - 20$% of $CP$

⇒ $0.88 = 0.8X$

⇒ $X = Rs. 1.11$

Now, for getting $20$ % profit,

$SP = 1.11 + 20$% of $1.11 = Rs.1.33$

Thus, he can sell

$= \frac{24}{1.33}$

$=18$

Thus, Lemons is in $Rs. 24$
