Solution

The correct option is B Mango tree: 20
Apple tree: 28
It is given that every fifth tree in the pattern is a mango tree and every eighth tree in the pattern is an apple tree.

Let us consider the number of mango trees on a number line.
Mango tress follows a pattern of "+5".
So, the next number for mango tree will be at 15 + 5 = 20.

Now, considering the number of apple trees on the number line, we get the following:

Apple trees follows a pattern of "+7".
So, the next number for an apple tree will be at 21 + 7 = 28.
