Let the number of Mangoes be x ( or any constant )
10% of x were damaged = 0.1x were damaged
Remaining mangoes = x - 0.1x = 0.9x
Mangoes used to make pickles = 0.4×0.9= 0.36x
According to Problem,
0.36x = 162
x= 450
He bought 450 mangoes.
Maybe the answer in the answer key is wrong, my answer is correct and I can never be wrong :')

Step-by-step explanation:
10 % of x =0.1×the mango was damaged
remaining mangoes=9.0
mangoes was damaged×remaning mangoes
0.1×9.0=0.36are remaining mangoes
total kg of mangoes=162
remaining×total kg of mangoes = 0.36×162
x=450 are write answer
