Answer 1

Answer:

Given, cost price of 100 lemons = ₹120 Cost price of 1 lemon = ₹ 120/100 and cost price of 720 lemons = 120/100 x 720 = ₹564 According to the question, 10 of the lemons were rotten. 10% of 720 lemons = 10/100 x 720 = 72 lemons Also, given, selling price of 100 rotten lemons = ₹ 50 Selling price of 1 rotten lemon = ₹ 50/100 and selling price of 72 rotten lemons = 50/100 x 72 = ₹36 Also, selling price of 100 good lemons = ₹125 Selling price of good lemon = ₹125/100 and selling price of (720-72) good lemons = 125/100 x (720 -72) = 125/100 x 648 = ₹810 Now, total selling price of 720 lemons = 36 + 810 = ₹846 Clearly, selling price < cost price.
