If two mangoes and two apples weigh the same as 1 mango and 4 apples how many apples weigh the same as 1 mango?

Lets solve this question in the following way:

Let Apple - - > 'A' Mango - - > 'M'

As per the given data,

2 mangoes and 2 apples weigh the same as 1 mango and 4 apples

Hence,

2M + 2A = 1M + 4A

Take Mangoes to left hand side and Apples to the other side (or viceversa)

Note: The reason for doing so is to determine the weight of mango with respect to apples.

2M - 1M = 4A - 2A

1M = 2A

So, 1 mango weighs as much as 2 apples.

That gives us our answer. i. e., 2 apples weigh as much as 1 mango.

Have a great day)

2M + 2A = M + 4A. Subtract 2A from each side: 2M = M + 2A Subtract M from each side: M = 2A. Two apples weigh the same as 1 mango, mon.
