Answer:
yes
Explanation:

Answer⇒
Rima must have observed that the mango had shrinked and the level of solution had increased a little bit.
Explanation⇒
The raw mangoes will shrink as the solvent present inside the mango will flow out as a result of osmosis. As the concentration of salt in salt water is more than the solvent present in the raw mango, the water will flow out from the mango. This phenomenon is known as osmosis. As the mango loses water, it shrink.
Since the water flows out of the mango, into the salt water, there will be a little bit increase in the level of solution in the jar.
Have a query regarding osmosis ??
Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.
