Solution :
Given:
The cost price of 28 oranges equals the selling price of 24 oranges.
Let the selling price of 1 orange = Rs. 1
So, the cost price of 28 oranges = selling price of 24 oranges = 1 × 24 = 24
Selling price of 28 oranges = 1 × 28 = 28
So, profit percentage $= \frac{28-24}{24}×100=16 \frac{2}{3}$%
Hence, the correct answer is $16 \frac{2}{3}$%.
