    There are 900 fruits (apples + oranges) in a basket.

    Number of apples are 25% more than number of oranges. If 60% of the oranges are sweet, then find the number of sweet oranges in the basket.
    A 160 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let number of oranges in the basket be 'x' So, number of apples in the basket = 1.25 × x = '1.25x' ATQ: 1.25x + x = 900 Or, 2.25x = 900 So, x = 400 So, number of oranges in the basket = 400 So, number of sweet oranges in the basket = 400 × 0.60 = 240
