According to the question we can say that the fruit seller had 6 dozens of fruits in his cart.
⇒ 12 × 6 = 72 fruits
So out of these 6 dozen fruits, 1/3 of them are apples.
⇒ Apples = 1/3 × 6 × 12 = 1/3 × 72 = 24 apples
Hence the fruit cart had 24 apples out of 72 fruits.
It also mentions rest are bananas.
So remaining number of fruits are 72 - 24 = 48 fruits.
Hence there are 48 bananas.
Since 1 dozen is 12, 48 fruits will give out to be 4 dozens.
Hence there are 4 dozens of bananas in the cart.
