Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 185000


Solution : Let $x$ be the cost price of fruits.
Profit = 10%
Selling price of $\frac{2}{5}^{th}$ part of fruits = $\frac{2}{5}×x×\frac{110}{100}$ = $0.44x$
Loss = 5%
Selling price of remaining part of fruits = $\frac{3}{5}×x×\frac{95}{100}$ = $0.57x$
