Correct answer: D. i and iv
- A. i and iii
- B. ii and iv
- C. iii and v
- D. i and iv
Explanation
To determine how many kilograms of apples were sold, we need to calculate the total receipt and the receipts for each type of produce. Statement i tells us the price per kilogram for apples and pears, and statement iv provides a ratio of the receipts for apples and pears. With this information, we can set up equations to solve for the kilograms of apples. The other options either lack sufficient data or provide redundant relationships that do not allow us to solve for the exact quantity of apples.
