A. 16
B. 32
C. 36
D. 48

The ration of oranges to peaches to strawberries is 2:3:4
Adding all these ratios we have = 2+3+4=9

Consider total fruit in basket = x

As we know that there are 8 oranges.

Now, ratio of oranges is 2/9 of total fruit items.

2/9 × x = 8
x = 8×9/2 = 72/2 = 36

Hence there are 36 total fruits in basket.
