10 dozen apples and 1/2 of 10 dozens of apples added more
So, total apple = 120 + 60 = 180
15 dozen mangoes and 1/3rd of 15 dozen mongos added more
Total mangos = 15 × 12 + 1/3 × 15 × 12 = 240
20 dozen oranges and 1/4 of 20 dozen oranges added more
Total oranges = 20 × 12 + 1/4 × 20 × 12 = 300
∴ Total number of fruits = 180 + 240 + 300 = 720
So, total apple = 120 + 60 = 180
15 dozen mangoes and 1/3rd of 15 dozen mongos added more
Total mangos = 15 × 12 + 1/3 × 15 × 12 = 240
20 dozen oranges and 1/4 of 20 dozen oranges added more
Total oranges = 20 × 12 + 1/4 × 20 × 12 = 300
∴ Total number of fruits = 180 + 240 + 300 = 720
