Solution

To solve this problem, we need to work backwards from the information given.

  1. 1 fruit costs 90. So, 24 fruits cost 24*90 = 2160.
  2. 39 biscuits cost 2160. So, 1 biscuit costs 2160/39 = 55.38 (approx).
  3. 15 biscuits cost as much as 22 chocolates. So, 22 chocolates cost 15*55.38 = 830.77 (approx). Therefore, 1 chocolate costs 830.77/22 = 37.76 (approx).
  4. 4 sweets cost as much as 13 chocolates. So, 13 chocolates cost 4*37.76 = 151.04 (approx). Therefore, 1 sweet costs 151.04/13 = 11.62 (approx).
  5. 5 cakes cost as much as 11 sweets. So, 11 sweets cost 5*11.62 = 58.10 (approx). Therefore, 1 cake costs 58.10/5 = 11.62 (approx).

However, none of the options (240, 340, 270, 250) match this result. There seems to be a mistake in the problem or the options provided.
