Answer 1

Answer:

rs. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To make rs. 18 profit, Deepak must have earned the rs. 170 he invested plus rs. 18 of profit, i.e. rs. 170 + 18 = rs. 188.

Deepak sold the remaining oranges, which is 100 - 6 = 94 oranges.

Selling 94 oranges for rs. 188 is a selling price of rs. 188/94 = rs. 2 per orange.
