A fruit seller purchases oranges at the rate of 3 for Rs 5 and sells them at 2 for Rs 4 His profit in the transaction is:

A) 25%

B) 15%

C) 20%

D) 10%

A fruit sellers purchases oranges at rate 3 for Rs 5

Cost of 3 oranges = Rs 5

Cost of 1 oranges = Rs 

Same fruit man sells them at rate 2 for Rs 4

Sale of 2 oranges = Rs 4

Sale of 1 oranges = Rs 2

If we see the price per oranges of cost price (CP) and selling price (SP).

SP>CP

It means fruit seller get profit per oranges.

Profit = SP-CP

Now we find profit percentage,

Thus, Fruit seller will get 20% profit in the transaction.

If a b 2 : 3 and b : c 4 : 3, then find a:b:c?

A) 8:12:9

B) 2:3:8

C) 2:3:9

D) 2:3:12

For solving this problem, first of all we have to equate the value of b in either cases by multiplying with a suitable integer

The common factor of 3 & 4 is 12

a:b=2:3=(2*4):(3*4)=8:12

a:b=8:12

Again, b:c =4:3=(4*3):(9*3)=12:9

b:c = 12: 9

Therefore, a:b:c=8:12: 9
