Explanation

To find the number of apples sold, we need the profit per apple and total profit. Profit per apple = Selling Price - Cost Price = 765 - 632 = Rs.133. With total profit of Rs.1596 from Statement I, we get Number of apples = 1596/133 = 12. All three statements are necessary: I gives total profit, II gives cost price, and III gives selling price.
