On a Wednesday

Apples = Rs. 42 per kg

Bananas = Rs. 16 per kg

Oranges = Rs. 22 per kg

Now,

Cost of three kg of apples = 3 × 42 = Rs. 126

Cost of five kg of oranges = 5 × 22 = Rs. 110

Cost of ten kg of bananas = 10 × 16 = Rs. 160

Thus, by selling three kg of apples, five kg of oranges and ten kg of bananas on Wednesday he earned = 126 + 110 + 160 = Rs. 396
