Raman buys some apples at the rate of four for a rupee and same number...
Let Raman buys ‘X’ apples at rate four for a rupee and ‘X’ apples at three for a rupee.
So, cost price = X/4 + X/3
CP = 6/4 + 6/3 = 3.5
Now SP = (125/100)*3.5 = 4.375

Raman buys some apples at the rate of four for a rupee and same number...
Given information:
- Raman buys apples at the rate of 4 for a rupee.
- Raman buys oranges at the rate of 3 for a rupee.
- Raman wants to make a profit of 25%.
Calculating the cost price:
To find the cost price of 6 apples, we need to calculate how much Raman paid for them.
- The rate of apples is 4 for a rupee.
- So, the cost of 6 apples would be (6/4) rupees, which is 1.5 rupees.
Calculating the selling price:
To make a profit of 25%, Raman needs to increase the cost price by 25%.
- 25% of the cost price of 6 apples is (25/100) * 1.5, which is 0.375 rupees.
- So, the selling price of 6 apples would be the cost price plus the profit, which is 1.5 + 0.375 = 1.875 rupees.
Converting the selling price to the rate per apple:
To find the rate per apple at which Raman should sell, we divide the total selling price by the number of apples.
- The selling price of 6 apples is 1.875 rupees.
- So, the rate per apple is 1.875/6, which is approximately 0.3125 rupees.
Converting the rate per apple to the rate per rupee:
Since the answer choices are given in terms of the rate per rupee, we need to convert the rate per apple to the rate per rupee.
- The rate per apple is approximately 0.3125 rupees.
- To find the rate per rupee, we divide 1 by the rate per apple.
- So, the rate per rupee is 1/0.3125, which is approximately 3.2.
Finding the closest answer choice:
The closest answer choice to the rate per rupee of 3.2 is option B, which is 4.375.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B, 4.375.
