A. 0%
B. 90%
C. 80%
D. None
Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Cost of 2750 Mangoes = 1210 ApplesTotal cost = 2420 Apples
Given: 406 = 322(100+x/100)
x = 6/23%
Given: 289 = 391(100+y/100)
y = 6/23% loss
Overall profit:
2750 Mangoes*(100+6/23/100) +1210 Apples*(100-6/23/100) = 2420*Apples (100+P/100)
1210 Apples*(100+6/23/100) +1210 Apples*(100-6/23/100) = 2420*Apples (100+P/100)
P = 0%

Cp of 2750 mangos=cp of 1210 apples
So total cost=5500 ie (2750+2750)
or =2420 ie 1210+1210
Buy406m----sell 332
P%=(sp-cp/cp)*100
So P%=26%
Buy 289a------sell 391ahear he or she lost
L%=-26%
Overall profit:
2750 Mangoes*(100+26/100) +1210 Apples*(100-26/100) = 2420*Apples (100+P/100)
1210 Apples*(100+26/100) +1210 Apples*(100-26/100) = 2420*Apples (100+P/100)
P = 0%
