Answer: Bhargav bought 132 oranges.
Step-by-step explanation:C.P =S.P*100/100-loss%
=3420*100/100-5 = 3600
Therfore CP = 3600
CP of 1 orange = 3600/144 = 25 Rs
Bhargav bought them at half price each.
Therefore , 25/2 = 12.5(assume no. of oranges as x)
He sold at 1650
Therefore , 12.5 * x = 1650
x = 1650/12.5 = 132
Therfore Bhargav bought 132 oranges
CP will be 1500 by above formula and SP is 1650 and therfore gain is 10%
