A Correct answer
Explanation

Total CP = 150 * 4 = 600. 60% of 150 = 90 apples sold at 5 = 450. Remaining 60 apples sold at 3 = 180. Total SP = 450 + 180 = 630. Profit = 630 - 600 = 30. Profit % = (30/600) * 100 = 5%.

AI explanation

Krishna's total cost price for 150 apples at Rs. 4 each is 150 times 4, which equals Rs. 600. He sold 60% of the apples, meaning 90 apples, at Rs. 5 each for a total of Rs. 450, and the remaining 60 apples at Rs. 3 each for a total of Rs. 180. His total selling price is 450 plus 180, which is Rs. 630, making his profit 630 minus 600 equal to Rs. 30. Using the profit percentage formula, (30 / 600) times 100 results in a 5% profit.
