The correct Answer is:
C

Let the purchased number of apples and watermalons each be x and y respectively.
From statement l, x+ y in a prime number, so we can.t find the unique value of x.
From statement II, 20x+105 y=850
`rArr 4x+21y=170`
The pairs of (x,y) satisfying the above equation are (32,2) and (11,6). So unlques value of x is not possible.
Using both the statements, if x=11 and y=6 then only x+y is a prime number and fx+21y =170
So the number of apples Kalyanl purcased is 11
