Answer

Correct option is

A

Answer is 1

Let the CP of 1 orange be Rs x

Then,

CP of 16 oranges will be 16×x=16x

And

CP of 16 oranges=SP of 18 pens

Hence,

SP of 18 oranges =16x

Then,

SP of 1 orange=16x÷18=

x

Since, CP>SP, So

Loss=CP−SP.=18x−16x=Rs2x

Loss(%)=

Answer 2

Answer:

Let Number of oranges bought & sold = LCM(18,12) = 36

Let Number of oranges bought & sold = LCM(18,12) = 36CP = 36/18 =2.

Let Number of oranges bought & sold = LCM(18,12) = 36CP = 36/18 =2. SP = 36/12 =3

Let Number of oranges bought & sold = LCM(18,12) = 36CP = 36/18 =2. SP = 36/12 =3Profit % = (3 - 2)/2 x 100 = 50%
