Here, the Total Amount is 38.
7+5 = 38, also (1 pineapple purchase).
12 =38
38 -12 = 26,
Now, 26 - 21 = 5 (21/7 = 3)
so, the answer is 3 + 1 = 4 Pineapple.
7+5 = 38, also (1 pineapple purchase).
12 =38
38 -12 = 26,
Now, 26 - 21 = 5 (21/7 = 3)
so, the answer is 3 + 1 = 4 Pineapple.

Why can't we say that data is insufficient?
Because we got 2 variables here but only one equation.

The easiest method is;
38-07 =31,
38-14=24,
38-21=17,
38-28=10,
38-35=03,
Only no.10 divisble on 5;10+28.
So, the Correct answer is 4.
38-07 =31,
38-14=24,
38-21=17,
38-28=10,
38-35=03,
Only no.10 divisble on 5;10+28.
So, the Correct answer is 4.

@All.
You can't solve like that because you have got two variables and only one equation.

One pineapple 7rs.
Watermelon costs Rs. 5.
Total 38.
See the choose below, if you buy 2 it became 14rs remaining 24 is not multiples of 5, 3 it became 21, remaining 17 is not multiply of 5.
Then the answer is c 7 x 4 = 28 and 5 + 5 = 10 total 38.

Simple logic first sees option there asked pineapple so,
4 * 7 = 28,
2 * 5 = 10.
4 * 7 = 28,
2 * 5 = 10.

Simple logic:
Here pine apple cost = 7.
Watermelon = 5.
Total = 38.
Then 7 * 4 = 28(pineapple)
Watermelon = 5 * 2 = 10.
Now 28 + 10 = 38.
No of pineapples = 7.
Here pine apple cost = 7.
Watermelon = 5.
Total = 38.
Then 7 * 4 = 28(pineapple)
Watermelon = 5 * 2 = 10.
Now 28 + 10 = 38.
No of pineapples = 7.
