The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Let's follow the sequence of orders:
- "1" means putting 1 mango in the basket: Total mangoes = 1.
- "2" means putting 1 orange in the basket: Total oranges = 1.
- "3" means putting 1 apple in the basket: Total apples = 1.
- "4" means taking out 1 mango and 1 orange: Mangoes = 0, Oranges = 0.
After processing all the orders:

The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Following the sequence of orders:
- "1" means putting 1 mango in the basket: Mangoes = 1.
- "2" means putting 1 orange in the basket: Oranges = 1.
- "3" means putting 1 apple in the basket: Apples = 1.
- "4" means taking out 1 mango and 1 orange: Mangoes = 0, Oranges = 0.
Thus, the total number of fruits left in the basket is:
\[
\text{Total fruits} = \text{Mangoes} + \text{Oranges} + \text{Apples} = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3.
\]
So, the total fruits left in the basket is 10.
