Correct Answer: INR 625
Solution : The cost price of 25 crates of oranges = INR 10,000 Total profit = 25% of total cost = 25% of INR 10,000 = INR 2,500 The selling price of 25 crates of oranges = cost price + total profit = INR 10,000 + INR 2,500 = INR 12,500 Number of crates of oranges sold = 25 – 5 = 20 ⇒ Selling price per crate = $\frac{12,500}{20}$ = INR 625 Hence, the correct answer is INR 625.
