Total fruits = $5692000 $

$\qquad\qquad = \begin{Bmatrix} Unripe(15\%)\rightarrow 853800 \\ Ripe(85\%)\rightarrow 4838200\end{Bmatrix}$

$= \begin{Bmatrix} Unripe(15\%)\begin{Bmatrix}Apples(45\%)\rightarrow 384210\\Orange \rightarrow Don't\ care \end{Bmatrix} \\ Ripe(85\%)\begin{Bmatrix}Apples(34\%)\rightarrow 1644988\\Orange \rightarrow Don't\ care \end{Bmatrix} \end{Bmatrix}$

So, Total Apples = 384210 + 1644988 = 2029198

Correct Answer: $A$
