===================================

Oranges are bought at 5 for rs. 10

cost of 5 orange is 10 

so cost of  orange = 10/5

=>rs . 2


so the cost of 6 oranges should be...............

=>2 *6

=>rs . 12


but here he  6 oranges  for rs. 15. 

c.p = 12

s.p = 15

so profit = s.p - c.p

                  = 15 - 12

                    = 3 rs

profit %  = $\frac{profit *100}{c.p}$

             = $\frac{3 *100}{12}$

             = 300/12

           = 25%

∴the profit % is 25%
