Explanation:

After increment price of X and Y together = Rs 175.5
Price before increment = 175.5/117 x 100 = Rs. 100
Price of apple X = 150/5 x 2 = Rs. 60
Price of apple Y = 150/5 x 3 = Rs. 90
X's price increased by 20%, X's price = 60 × 120% = Rs 72
Y's new price = Rs.(175.5 – 72) = Rs.103.5
Y's price increased by 103.5 - 90 /90 x 100 = 15%
