Solution

The correct option is C 28.33gm
This is a case of polygene at work.

When none of the alleles contributing the weight of the mangoes are 10gm.

When each and every allele is contributing the weight of mangoes is 180gm.

So, individual weight contributed by each allele=(180-10)/ 6
28.33gm.
