A. Rs. 3000

B. Rs. 3500

C. Rs. 4000

D. Rs. 2500

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the required price be Rs. x
More mangoes, More price (Direct proportion)
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore 357:\left( {49 \times 12} \right)::1517.25:x \cr & \Leftrightarrow 357x = \left( {49 \times 12 \times 1517.25} \right) \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = \frac{{\left( {49 \times 12 \times 1517.25} \right)}}{{357}} \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = 2499 \cr} $$
Hence, the approximate price is Rs. 2500
