E. 17
Or, \(50000s - 700000 = 150000\)
Or, \(5s - 70 = 15\)
Or, \(5s = 85\)
So, \(s = 17\), Answer must be (E)

Profit = n(SP) - n(CP) - Rent => 150,000=SP*50,000 - 10*50,000 - 200,000 => 3 = SP - 10 - 4 => SP = 17
Where n = no. of bushels
SP = Selling price of one bushel
CP = cost price of one bushel
Hence E
Profit = n(SP) - n(CP) - Rent => 150,000=SP*50,000 - 10*50,000 - 200,000 => 3 = SP - 10 - 4 => SP = 17
