The number of mangoes in the end is repeated. Make the number of mangoes in the end the same. LCM of 3 and 2 is 6.
Total number of passion fruits and mangoes at first
= 3 u - 39 + 10 u
= 13 u - 39
13 u - 39 = 260
13 u = 260 + 39
13 u = 299
1 u = 299 ÷ 13 = 23
Number of more mangoes than passion fruits at first
= 10 u - (3 u - 39)
= 10 u - 3 u + 39
= 7 u + 39
= 7 x 23 + 39
= 161 + 39
= 200
Answer(s): 200
