Correct Answer: 60
Solution : Let the number of dozens of mangoes sold at $20\%$ profit as $x$ and the number of dozens sold at $10\%$ profit as $(200 - x)$. Given that the wholesaler made a total profit of $13\%$ on selling all the mangoes. ⇒ $0.20x + 0.10(200 - x) = 0.13×200$ $x = \frac{0.13×200 - 0.10 ×200}{0.20 - 0.10} = 60$ Hence, the correct answer is 60.
