    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    We know that 1 dozen = 12 piece
    49 dozens =49*12 = 588 mangoes
    Let x is the price for 588 mangoes.
    Now, put the same unit on the same side
    Price and mangoes are directly proportional to each other, so
    357 mangoes: 588 mangoes = 1517.25: x
    Or, x = [1517.25* 588]/ 357 = 2499
    Hence, the approximate value, x = Rs. 2500.
