Answer:

Explanation:

In other to solve for the profit we have to solve for the unit cost of one lemon first

If 4 lemons cost Rs. 10

then 1 lemon will cost= 10/4= Rs 2.5

knowing that one cost Rs 2.5

cost price of three would be 3* Rs 2.5= Rs 7.5

Since three was sold for Rs. 10.

The profit made is

cost of three- selling price of three= Rs. 10- Rs 7.5= Rs 2.5
