(B) Let the total number of oranges be $100$ and the cost price $(C.P.)$ be $₹ 100$.$S.P.$ of $40$ oranges $= ₹ 100$.Profit on these $40$ oranges $= 100 - 40 = ₹ 60$.Profit percentage $= (60 / 40) 	imes 100 = 150 \%$.Remaining oranges $= 100 - 40 = 60$.He sells $80 \%$ of the remaining oranges,which is $0.80 	imes 60 = 48$ oranges.He sells these at half the previous rate of profit,so the new profit rate is $150 \% / 2 = 75 \%$.$S.P.$ of $48$ oranges $= 48 + 75 \% 	ext{ of } 48 = 48 + 36 = ₹ 84$.Total $S.P.$ $= 100 + 84 = ₹ 184$.Total Profit $= 184 - 100 = ₹ 84$.Overall profit percentage $= (84 / 100) 	imes 100 = 84 \%$.
