If 8 oranges cost ₹ 52, how many oranges can be bought for ₹ 169?

Let the number of oranges that can be bought for ₹169 be x.

As the quantity increases the price also increases. So, this is a case of direct proportion.

$\therefore \frac{\circ}{52}=\frac{x}{169}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{8 \times 169}{52}=26$

Thus, 26 oranges can be bought for ₹169.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
