Answer 1

Dear Student,

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Raman}\mathrm{bought}\mathrm{mangoes}=\frac{5}{7}\mathrm{Kg}=\frac{5}{7}\times \frac{6}{6}=\frac{30}{42}\mathrm{Kg} \\ \mathrm{Suman}\mathrm{bought}\mathrm{mangoes}=\frac{2}{6}\mathrm{Kg}=\frac{2}{6}\times \frac{7}{7}=\frac{14}{42}\mathrm{Kg} \\ \mathrm{So},\mathrm{Raman}\mathrm{bought}\mathrm{more}\mathrm{mangoes}=\frac{30}{42}-\frac{14}{42} \\ =\frac{16}{42}=\frac{8}{21}\mathrm{Kg}. \end{gathered}$$
