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
