- Mangoes are purchased at Rs 10,000 per ton.

- One-third of the mangoes are sold at a 4% loss.

- Cost price of one-third mangoes = Rs 10,000 per ton.

- Selling price at 4% loss = 96% of Rs 10,000 = Rs 9,600 per ton.

- To find the selling price for the remaining mangoes to achieve an overall profit of 30%:

- Overall cost price = Rs 10,000 per ton.

- Desired selling price = 130% of Rs 10,000 = Rs 13,000 per ton for the whole.

- Calculate selling price for remaining two-thirds:

- Let x be the required selling price per ton, x tons are sold at x rate.

- (1/3 * 9600 + 2/3 * x) = 13000

- Solving the equation gives us x = Rs 14,700.

- ?? Option 3: Rs 14,700 is the correct answer.
