The ratio of apples to oranges is 2 : 5.
There are 10 apples, this means 10 is represented by the ratio of 2/7, while oranges is represnted by 5/7. Let the total number of fruits be represented by x. We'll now have
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{7}=\frac{10}{x} \\ \text{Cross multiply and we have} \\ x=\frac{7\times10}{2} \\ x=\frac{70}{2} \\ x=35 \end{gathered}[/tex]
The total number of fruits is 35
The correct answer is option C
