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.

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.
Watermelon costs Rs. 5.
Total 38.

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

I can explain it properly.
The total spend amount is 38.
So clearly shows here when purchase 4 pineapples at the rate.
Rs 7 we get total amount 28.
Purchase 2 watermelons at the rate rs 5 we get total amount rs 10.
So 28+10=38.
You cannot purchase 3 pineapples. So 3*7=21/ 38-21=17.
Rs17 it is not sufficient amount for purchase of watermelons.
The total spend amount is 38.
So clearly shows here when purchase 4 pineapples at the rate.
Rs 7 we get total amount 28.
Purchase 2 watermelons at the rate rs 5 we get total amount rs 10.
So 28+10=38.
You cannot purchase 3 pineapples. So 3*7=21/ 38-21=17.
Rs17 it is not sufficient amount for purchase of watermelons.

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.
