    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ Let the amount of money with Ajay be Rs. '200a' So, the price of 1 apple = (200/80) = Rs. '2.5a' Also, the price of 1 banana = (200/40) = Rs. '5a' ATQ; Amount retained for snacks = 0.05 X 200a = Rs. '10a' Price of 10 bananas = 10 X 5a = Rs. '50a' Remaining amount = 200a - 10a - 50a = Rs. '140a' So, number of apples he can purchase now = (140a/2.5a) = 56 Therefore, required percent = (56/80) X 100 = 70%
