Cost Price of 1 plum = Re. 1 /5 = 20 paise

Cost Price of 1 orange = Re. 1/2 = 50 paise

Cost Price of 10 plums & 6 oranges = 10*0.20 + 6*0.50 = Rs. 5/-

Selling Price of 1 plum = Re. 1/4 = 25 paise

Selling Price of 1 orange = Re. 1/3 = 33 paise

Selling Price of 10 plums & 6 oranges = 10*0.25 + 6*0.33 = Rs. 4.50/

So Selling Price - Cost Price = Rs. 4.50 - Rs. 5 = 50 paise

Loss = 50 paise
