• A. 8 rupees and 80 paise
  
• B. 6 rupees and 40 paise
  
• C. 10 rupees and 60 paise
  
• D. 12 rupees and 60 paise
  

Answer 1

The correct option is D 12 rupees and 60 paise


Price of 8 mangoes = 100 rupees and 80 paise

We know that 1 rupee = 100 paise

So, price of 8 mangoes = 10000 + 80 = 10080 paise

Price of 1 mango = $\frac{10080}{8}$ = 1260 paise

Price of 1 mango = 1200 paise + 60 paise

Price of 1 mango = 12 rupees and 60 paise
