Given:

Cost of each mango = Rs 8

Cost of each guava = Rs 6

Total cost = Rs 52

Calculation:

Let M be and G be the number of mango and guava.

As per the question,

⇒ 8M + 6G = 52    ----- (1)

 Putting the values given in the option one by one, we will get the answer .

If we check for Option 2 then,

M = 5 and G = 2

⇒ (8 × 5) + (6 × 2) = 40 + 12 = 52.

∴ The correct answer is Option 2).
