Answer 1

Required Answer:-

GiveN:

1. Oranges were brought at 5 for Rs. 10.
2. And sold at 6 for Rs. 15..

Then,

• Cost price of 5 oranges = Rs. 10
• Cost price of 1 orange = Rs 2

And,

• Selling price of 6 oranges = Rs. 15
• Selling price of 1 orange = Rs. 5/2

Net gain = Rs. 5/2 - Rs. 2 = Rs. 1/2

Then, Gain percent

= Gain / CP × 100

= Rs. 1/2 / Rs. 2 × 100

= 100 / 4 %

= 25 % (Ans)

The gain percent on buying and selling of oranges at a rate mentioned in the question is 25 %.
