(D) Let the number of oranges purchased in each lot be the $LCM$ of $3$ and $5$,which is $15$.Cost Price $(CP)$ of the first lot ($15$ oranges): $(40 / 3) 	imes 15 = ₹ 200$.Cost Price $(CP)$ of the second lot ($15$ oranges): $(60 / 5) 	imes 15 = ₹ 180$.Total Cost Price $(CP)$ for $30$ oranges: $200 + 180 = ₹ 380$.Selling Price $(SP)$ of $30$ oranges: $(50 / 3) 	imes 30 = ₹ 500$.Profit = $SP - CP = 500 - 380 = ₹ 120$.Profit percentage = $(	ext{Profit} / CP) 	imes 100 = (120 / 380) 	imes 100 = (12 / 38) 	imes 100 \approx 31.57 \%$.Rounding to the nearest integer,the profit is $32 \%$.
