      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let the total number of oranges in the shop be '100x'. Number of oranges purchased by Sita = 0.50 x 100x = '50x' Number of oranges purchased by Gopal = 0.60 x (100x - 50x) = '30x' Number of oranges sold by Sita = (360 / 6) = 60 ATQ, 50x = 60 So, 'x' = 1.2 Therefore, required value = 1.75 x 30 x 1.2 = 63
