Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem: Mangoes

One night the King couldn’t sleep, so he went down into the Royal kitchen, where he found a bowl full of mangoes.

Being hungry, he took 1/6 of the mangoes.

Later that same night, the Queen was hungry and couldn’t sleep.

She, too, found the mangoes and took 1/5 of what the King had left.

Still later, the first Prince awoke, went to the kitchen, and ate 1/4 of the remaining mangoes.

Even later, his brother, the second Prince, ate 1/3 of what was then left.

Finally, the third Prince ate 1/2 of what was left, leaving only three mangoes for the servants.

Answer 2

200-5=195

195-20=175

175×2.50=437.5

437.5-425=12.5

therefore it is a profit of ₹12.5
