Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
4 oranges sell for Nx, 1 orange will sell for \(\frac{Nx}{4}\)
24 oranges will sell for: \(\frac{Nx}{4} \times 24\) = n6x
3 mangoes sell for Ny, 1 mango will sell for \(\frac{Ny}{3}\)
12 mangoes will sell for \(\frac{Ny}{3} \times 12\) = 4Ny
total money pay N6x + N4y = N(6x + 4y)
4 oranges sell for Nx, 1 orange will sell for \(\frac{Nx}{4}\)
24 oranges will sell for: \(\frac{Nx}{4} \times 24\) = n6x
3 mangoes sell for Ny, 1 mango will sell for \(\frac{Ny}{3}\)
12 mangoes will sell for \(\frac{Ny}{3} \times 12\) = 4Ny
total money pay N6x + N4y = N(6x + 4y)
