Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

COST PRICE

No of mangoes=3

Cost=Rs5

Cost of 1 mango=cost/quantity

Therefore, CP   = 5/3 Rs

SELLING PRICE

No of mangoes=2

Cost=Rs4

Cost of 1 mango=cost/quantity

Therefore, SP   = 4/2 Rs

                          = 2 rs

CP=5/3

SP=2

SP>CP

Therefore Profit

Profit= SP-CP

         =2-5/3

         =(6-5)/3

         =1/3 Rs

   OR = 0.3333 Rs
