1. Rs. 80
2. Rs. 40
3. Rs. 60
4. Rs. 30

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 60

Given:

The ratio of price of a mango and an apple is 3 : 2.

Total price of 1 mango and 1 apple = Rs. 100.

Calculations:

Let the price of mango and apple be 3x and 2x respectively.

Total price = Rs. 100

⇒ 3x + 2x = 100

⇒ 5x = 100

⇒ x = 20

Price of a mango = 3x

⇒ 3 × 20

⇒ Rs. 60

∴ The price of a mango is Rs. 60.
