Profit and Loss

Jamil bought a certain number of apples at the rate of 2 apples a rupee and an equal number at the rate of 3 a rupee and sold the entire lot at the rate of 5 apples for Rs.2. He lost Rs.4 in the bargain.
The total number of apples he purchased was
1. 240
2. 120
3. 360
4. 480

Let the number of apples purchased of each kind be 30. Total C.P. = Rs.15+Rs.10=Rs.25. S.P. = Rs.2/5 x 60 = Rs.24. Then loss = Rs.4. Hence, the total number of apples purchased = 60/1 x 4. i.e., 240
