A.

26 2 over 3

For a Profit of 20%, total S.P.
equals space space 1000 space cross times space 120 over 100 space equals Rs. space 1200
S.P. of fruits sold at 10% gain equals space 400 space cross times space 110 over 100 space equals space Rs. space 440
Remaining S.P. = Rs. 1200 - Rs. 440 = Rs. 760
Difference = 760 - 600 = Rs. 160
therefore space space fraction numerator 600 space cross times space straight x over denominator 100 end fraction space equals space 160
rightwards double arrow space space straight x space equals space fraction numerator 160 space cross times space 100 over denominator 600 end fraction space equals space 80 over 3 space equals space 26 2 over 3 percent sign
