- You are currently looking at an apples problem involving prices and profit.

- If apples are sold at Rs12 instead of Rs9, the price difference per apple is Rs3.

- The total difference of Rs870 implies that 870 / 3 = 290 apples were sold.

- The total cost of apples is Rs2,320.

- Let’s determine the selling price when the profit is 25%.

- Cost price per apple = Rs2,320 / 290 = Rs8.

- Selling price for a 25% profit = 125% of Rs8 = (1.25 * 8) = Rs10.

- Therefore, the correct selling price per apple with 25% profit is Rs10.
