Explanation:

Let the number of mangoes the fruit seller has originally be 100x
5% of total mangoes are rotten i.e. 5x mangoes are rotten, remaining mangoes = 95x
Seller sells 75% mangoes of remaining i.e. 95x ×75/100
Remaining mangoes = 95x – 71.25x = 95 => x = 4
Seller has initially 100x mangoes = 100×4 = 400 mangoes
