Step-by-step explanation:
Let amount of mangoes be X, and apples be Y
Then,
10x = 6y
(since amount of mangoes and apples needed are equal)
When simplified,
10x = 6y can be written as 5x = 3y
Least number which is common in multiple of 3 and 5 is 15.
So 5x = 15 & 3y = 15
Therefore, x = 3 & ý = 5
Now it's clear than she has to buy at least 3 packets of mangoes, and 5 packets of apples
So 5 * 6 = 30.
So the least number of apples = 30
Then, he should buy 10 packets of mangoes as he was intending to buy the same amount as that of the apples.
Hope it helped you.
Sorry if I made any mistakes.
