Detailed Solution

We have cost price of apple = Rs.20 per kg
∴ Cost price of 100kg apples = Rs.100 ⋅ 20
= Rs.2000

apples of 100kg =

kgs
Selling price of 40kg = 93 percentage of CP of 40kg
=

= Rs.744
Required selling price to get total profit 15 percentage = 115 percentage of total cost price
=

= Rs.2300
⇒ selling price of remaining 60kg = Rs.2300 − 744= Rs.1556
⇒ Required profit ⇒ 1556 − 1200 = Rs.356
⇒ Profit percentage =

= 29.66%
Hence option (A) is correct.
