    A)  Gain of 4%                  

    B)  Loss of 4%  

    C)  Neither gain nor loss      

    D)  Loss of 5%

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Let the man buy 60 oranges (LCM of 20 and 30) of each kind. CP of the 69 oranges of the first kind\[=\frac{60}{20}\times 60=Rs.\,\,180\] CP of 60 oranges of second kind             \[=\frac{60}{30}\times 60=Rs.\,\,120\] Total CP of 120 oranges             \[=Rs.\,\,(180+120=Rs.\,\,300\] Their\[SP=\frac{60}{25}\times 120=Rs.\,\,288\] Loss\[=Rs.\,\,(300-288)=Rs.\,\,12\] \[\therefore \]Loss Percent\[=\frac{12}{300}\times 100=4%\]
