A trader in country where their currency ‘MONI'(M) is in base five bought 1035 oranges…

A trader in country where their currency ‘MONI'(M) is in base five bought 1035 oranges at M145 each. If he sold the oranges at M245 each, what will be his gain?
  • A.
    1035
  • B.
    10305
  • C.
    1025
  • D.
    20025
  • E.
    30325
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

Total cost of 1035 oranges at N145 each
= 1035 x 145
= 20025
Total selling price at N245 each
= (103)5 x 245
= 30325
Hence his gain = 30325 – 20025
= 10305
