      B ₹12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C ₹8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D ₹15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the cost price of each mango be ₹x. Selling price in first case = x + 20% of x = 1.2x In second case: Cost price = 0.9x, Selling price = 0.9x + 25% of 0.9x = 1.125 × 0.9x = 1.0125x Given: 1.0125x = 1.2x - 3 0.1875x = 2 x = ₹16 Correct answer: a) ₹16
