      A 145 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 135 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Cost price of 18 pineapples = 72 ÷ 0.6 = Rs. 120 So, cost price of 1 pineapple = 120 / 18 = Rs. 6.67 So, cost price of 10 pineapples = 6.67 x 10 = Rs. 66.67 So, required selling price = 66.67 x 1.5 = Rs. 100
