Correct answer: C
Key idea: 3/7 of the oranges are too sour, so the fraction that can be sold is 4/7.
Total oranges = 3,80,205 (380,205).
Eatable fraction = 1 - 3/7 = 4/7.
Compute one-seventh of the total: 380,205 ÷ 7 = 54,315.
Multiply that by 4 to get 4/7: 54,315 × 4 = 217,260.
Answer: 2,17,260 oranges can be sold.
