The selling price of 13 apples is the same as the cost price of 26 mangoes . The selling price of 16 mangoes is the same as the cost price of 12 apples. If the profit on selling mangoes is 20%, What is the profit on selling apples?

• 13sa=26cm where sa=selling price of apple
  and cm=cost price of mango
  from here we get equation 1- sa=2cm
  now,16sm=12ca
  sm=selling price of mangoes
  ca=costing price of apple
  from here we get,eq 2- ca=4/3*sm
  profit%=profit/cp of mango *100
  20=(sm-cm)/cm*100
  0.2*cm=sm-cm
  1.2cm=sm
  profit=(sa-ca)/ca*100
  using above 2 equations:
  profit=(4/3sm-cm)/cm
  using sm=1.2cm
  profit=(4/3*1.2cm)-cm/cm
  profit=3/5
  profit%=3/5*100
  ans:60%
