Explanation

Profit/Loss = SP - CP. Apples: 200 - 150 = +50. Bananas: 70 - 80 = -10. Oranges: 40 - 60 = -20. Pineapples: 90 - 100 = -10. Total = 50 - 10 - 20 - 10 = 10.

AI explanation

First, calculate the total cost price by adding 150, 80, 60, and 100 to get 390. Next, calculate the total selling price by adding 200, 70, 40, and 90 to get 400. Subtract the total cost price from the total selling price to find the profit, which is 400 minus 390. This results in a total profit of Rs. 10. The answer is Rs. 10.
