Answer:
weight of the box is increased by 1 unit
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the weight of all mangoes before removing the rotten mangoes be = x units
Now,
5 rotten mangoes are removed each weighing 1 unit
So the weight of mangoes now = x-5 units
Now,
we add 3 fresh mangoes each weighing 2 units or double the weight of a rotten mangoes
So the weight of mangoes now = x-5+2(3)units
= x+1 units
So the weight of the box is increased by 1 unit as compared to the start when it had the rotten mangoes.
