Answer 1

Answer:

2 Mangoes

Step-by-step explanation:

if Before watchman a person have x mangoes then after passing watchman  person will have x also ( as he didn't want to give anyone any mango)

=> x - x/2  + 1 = x

=> x/2  = 1

=> x = 2

If person take two mangoes from tree then he did not need to  give anyone a mango and will get 2 mangoes

The step will repeat with each watchman.
