    Let number of apples bought = 5 x 6 = 30 [LCM of 5 and 6]
    CP = (10/5) x 30 = ₹ 60
    SP = (15/6) x 30 = ₹ 75

    Correct Option: D

    Let number of apples bought = 5 x 6 = 30 [LCM of 5 and 6]
    CP = (10/5) x 30 = ₹ 60
    SP = (15/6) x 30 = ₹ 75
    ∴ Gain = SP - CP = 75 - 60 = ₹ 15
    ∴ Gain % = (15/60) x 100 % = 25%
