The total receipt for apples was equal to the combined receipt for pears and tomatoes.iv. The total receipt for apples was 4 times the total receipt for pears.v. The total receipt for tomatoes was 3 times the total receipt for pears.

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationships between the quantities sold and their respective receipts.1. Let the price per kilogram for apples and pears be Rs. 0.50 each. From the given information, the total receipt for apples is equal to the combined receipt for pears and tomatoes.2. The total receipt for apples is also 4 times the total receipt for pears, and the total receipt for tomatoes is 3 times the total receipt for pears.3. Let the total receipt for pears be Rs. x. Then, the receipt for apples is 4x, and for tomatoes, it is 3x.4. The sum of the receipts is 4x (apples) + x (pears) + 3x (tomatoes) = 8x. Since the total receipt is Rs. 480, we have 8x = Rs. 480, thus x = Rs. 60.5. Therefore, the receipt for apples is 4x = 4 * Rs. 60 = Rs. 240. Since apples are sold at Rs. 0.50 per kilogram, the farmer sold 240 / 0.50 = 480 kilograms of apples.Thus, the correct percentage of apples in the total kilograms sold is 1250%.The other options fail to meet all these conditions as illustrated.
