A man sells 45 lemons for Rs 40 and loses 20%. At how much price should he sell 24 lemons to the next customer to make a 20% profit?
Choose the correct option:
A) 32
B) 20
C) 24
D) 16
E) 14
Explanation:   Let cost price of lemons be x.   Selling price of lemons becomes CP - loss.   =&gt;SP=x-(20/100)x   =&gt;40=x(80/100)   =&gt;50   So 45 lemons cost Rs 50   Cost of 1 lemon = 50/45 Rs   Cost of 24 lemons = (50/45)*24 =80/3 Rs   Selling Price of 24 lemons =(80/3)+(20/100)(80/3)=Rs 32   32NSWER 32
