    A.

    B.

    4

    C.

    5

    D.

    6

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    The vendor buys lemons at 7 for ₹1.

    The vendor wants to gain 75% profit.

    Formula Used:

    S.P. = C.P. × (1+Profit Percentage100) \left(1+\frac{\text{Profit Percentage}}{100}\right)​​

    Solution:

    Cost Price (C.P.) of 1 lemon = ₹ 17\frac{1}{7}​ per lemon

    Selling Price (S.P.) for a 75% profit:

    S.P. = 17×1.75=1.757\frac{1}{7} \times 1.75 = \frac{1.75}{7}​ = ₹ 0.25 per lemon

    Number of lemons to sell for ₹1 = 10.25\frac{1}{0.25}​ = 4

    Thus, The vendor must sell 4 lemons for ₹1 to gain a 75% profit
