- Let's first find Ajay's cost price per orange: Rs90/18 = Rs5 per orange.

- Let's find his selling price per orange: Rs105/15 = Rs7 per orange.

- His gain per orange = Selling Price - Cost Price = Rs7 - Rs5 = Rs2.

- Percentage gain = (Gain per orange / Cost price per orange) × 100 = (2/5) × 100 = 40%.

- Option 1: 35% – Incorrect. Shows less than actual gain.

- Option 2: 30% – Incorrect. Lower than real gain.

- Option 3: 25% – Incorrect. Doesn't match calculation.

- Option 4: 40% – Correct. Matches calculated gain percentage.

Option:4 - 40% is the correct answer.
