Correct answer: A
Solution: Determine the number of edible oranges.
Total oranges = 3,80,205 = 380,205.
Fraction that are too sour = 3/7, so fraction edible = 1 − 3/7 = 4/7.
Compute one-seventh: 380,205 ÷ 7 = 54,315. Multiply by 4 to get edible oranges: 54,315 × 4 = 217,260.
Final answer: 217,260 oranges can be sold.
