Correct Answer: INR 185000
Solution : Let $x$ be the cost price of fruits. Profit = 10% Selling price of $\frac{2}{5}^{th}$ part of fruits = $\frac{2}{5}×x×\frac{110}{100}$ = $0.44x$ Loss = 5% Selling price of remaining part of fruits = $\frac{3}{5}×x×\frac{95}{100}$ = $0.57x$ Total selling price = $0.44x + 0.57x= 1.01x$ Total profit = INR 1850 According to the question, $1850 = 0.01x$ $\therefore x = \frac{1850}{0.01} = 185000$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 185000.
