    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.
