Answer 1

It is a gain.

Explanation:

CLEAR STATEMENT:

Given that the fruit seller buys 10 apples for 45Rs each from wholesale market.

This implies her buys them for 10 × 45Rs = 450Rs.

UNCLEAR STATEMENT:

He packs them in a fruit basket for 40 and sells them each for 20 baskets Rs. 600.

ASSUMING:

What you are trying to say is that he bought baskets for 40Rs, and sold the apples for 600Rs.

Subtracting his expenses from this value, we have

600Rs - 450Rs - 40Rs = 110Rs

Since this amount is positive, we conclude that it is a gain of 110Rs.
