Answer 1

The sum total of orange and apples are 800+600=1400

Now, 5kg - 2kg of orange= 3kg oranges

he sold 3kg oranges at 140 rs/kg so

selling price of oranges=140 X 3= 420rs

he has 5 kg of apples left

the total price was= 1400

so he has to get 1400-420 = 980rs for 5kg apples

divide 980 by 5

980/5= 196

so the answer is he has to sell them for 980rs to get no profit or loss.

Hope it helps you ;)
