A fruit-seller bought 47kg 500g of mangoes from one garden, 64kg 900g of mangoes from another garden and 55kg 250g of mangoes from the third garden. If he sold 30kg 750g mangoes, then how many mangoes does he have now?

Last updated May 15, 2026
Correct Answer: Option A — 136kg 900g
Step-by-Step Calculation:

1. Calculate the total weight of mangoes bought:

To find the total, add the quantities from the three gardens: 

Garden 1: 47kg500g
Garden 2: 64kg900g
Garden 3:55kg250g

{Total Weight} = 
(47 + 64 + 55)kg + (500 + 900 + 250){ g}
= 166 {kg} + 1650{ g} 
=166{ kg} + 1{ kg } 650{ g} (Since} 1000{g} = 1{kg)} 
= 167{ kg } 650{ g}

2. Subtract the weight of mangoes sold:

Now, subtract the sold quantity (30 kg } 750{ g}) from the total weight:

{Remaining} = 167{ kg } 650{ g} - 30{ kg } 750{ g}

Since 750{ g} is greater than 650{ g}, we "borrow" 1{ kg} (1000{ g}) from the 167{ kg}167{ kg } 650{ g} becomes 166{ kg } 1650{ g}

{Remaining} = (166 - 30){ kg} + (1650 - 750){ g} = 136{ kg } 900{ g}

Final Result: The fruit-seller now has 136{kg} 900{g} of mangoes.
