# A man buys 200 oranges for Rs.1,000. How many oranges for Rs.100 can he sell to that his profit percentage is 25%?

 A) 10 B) 14 C) 16 D) 20

 C) 16

Item Rs

C.P 200 1000

S.P x 100

Profit percent = $$\Large \frac{200 x 100 - 1000 \times x}{1000x}$$

$$\Large 25 = \left(\frac{20000 -1000 x}{1000x}\right)100$$

1000x =(20000 - 1000x) X 4

1000x = 80000 - 4000x

5000x = 80000

x = 16

Option (C)is correct.
