As per my solution.
Total 100% = 40% sold + 60% remaining (420).
= 420/60 = 7.
1% = 7.
100% = 700.
Total 100% = 40% sold + 60% remaining (420).
= 420/60 = 7.
1% = 7.
100% = 700.

If already sell 40% then remain 60% = 420 apples.
If 60*7 = 420.
Then 100*7= ?
And the Answer is 700.
If 60*7 = 420.
Then 100*7= ?
And the Answer is 700.

Apple sold 40%.
Remaining 60% = 420.
Then 1% apple are 420/60 = 7.
Then 100% = 7x100 = 700 answer.
Remaining 60% = 420.
Then 1% apple are 420/60 = 7.
Then 100% = 7x100 = 700 answer.

60% = 420,
40% = x.
60/100*x = 40/100 * 420,
We will get x = 280,
Add 280 + 420 = 700(40%+60%=100%).
40% = x.
60/100*x = 40/100 * 420,
We will get x = 280,
Add 280 + 420 = 700(40%+60%=100%).

@sonu
the ans. is 102.22
45/100*x=30/100*90=30/100*210
9x/20+27=63
9x/20=63-27
x=(46*20)/9
x=102.22

So he left with 60% apple which are 420.
60% = 420.
1% = 420/60.
100% = 420/60*100 = 700 answer.
60% = 420.
1% = 420/60.
100% = 420/60*100 = 700 answer.

Easy way this type of questions.
100%-40% = 60%.
60%-420.
100%-?
When 100*420/60 = 700 answer.
100%-40% = 60%.
60%-420.
100%-?
When 100*420/60 = 700 answer.

There are so many process but we need only short one.
100-40= 60%
60%= 420
100% = 420*100/60
=700
100-40= 60%
60%= 420
100% = 420*100/60
=700

Here,
100-40=60%
Hence, the correct option should be whose 60% is 420 and 700*(60/100)=420.
100-40=60%
Hence, the correct option should be whose 60% is 420 and 700*(60/100)=420.

420 apple is 60%.
So divide it by 6 420%6=70 then balance 40% 70 * 4=280.
280 + 420 = 700.
So divide it by 6 420%6=70 then balance 40% 70 * 4=280.
280 + 420 = 700.
