    A) 20 paise            

    B) 40 paise

    C) 50 paise

    D) 60 paise

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    20% of Rs. 10 \[=\frac{20}{100}\times Rs.10=Rs.\,2\] Reduced price of 5 oranges = Rs. 2 \[\therefore \] Reduced price of 1 orange             \[=\frac{Rs.\,2}{5}=\frac{200}{5}\,paise\]             = 40 Original price of 1 orange             \[=\frac{40}{1-0.20}=\frac{40}{0.8}=\frac{400}{8}=50\,\text{paise}\]
