a) Rs. 9
b) Rs. 7
c) Rs. 5
d) Rs. 6

Hey there !!

Thank you for the question !!

let P = price before reduction,

so ,

price after reduction = P(1-20%) = 0.8P

now,

No. of mangoes for Rs 15 at original price = 15/P
and,

No. of mangoes for Rs 15 at reduced price = 15/.8P

Therefore, 15/.8P -15/P = 12

P = 0.3125

So,

Price of 16 mangoes at original price = 16 x 0.3125 = 5

hence the price of 16 mangoes was RS 5

hope it helps !!!
