Ratio of oranges to apples is 9:10, so oranges should be a multiple of 9..
Here all choices are multiple of 9 so all fit in the bill on this aspect.
Now atleast means there would be a lower range..
So let comm ratio be x so 9x : 10x....
If \(10x/geq{200}.....x/geq{20}\)..
So lowest value of x is 20, so least number of oranges is 9x=9*20=180
So A is out
Ans B,C,D,E
