Solution

The correct option is C 5
There are 60 mangoes in 12 boxes. We need to find the number of mangoes in each box.
Let us use repeated subtraction to find the number of mangoes in each box.

60 - 12 = 48
48 - 12 = 36
36 - 12 = 24
24 - 12 = 12
12 - 12 = 0

So, we are subtracting 12 five times to find the number of mangoes in each box. Thus, there are 5 mangoes in each box.
