Answer 1

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Weight of mangoes = 6 kg

● Explanation -

Let x, y and z be weoght of apple, oranges and mangoes.

x = 7.2 kg

y = 5 kg

Given that the ratio of apples to mangoes is same as the ratio of mangoes to orange.

x/z = z/y

z^2 = x.y

z = √(xy)

z = √(7.2 × 5)

z = √36

z = 6 kg

Hence, the weight of mangoes is 6 kg.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you..
