Solution

First, let's calculate the cost price and selling price per mango.

Cost Price (CP) per mango = Total cost / Number of mangoes = Rs 10 / 12 = Rs 0.83 (approximately)

Selling Price (SP) per mango = Total selling price / Number of mangoes = Rs 12 / 10 = Rs 1.2

Now, let's calculate the profit or loss.

Profit or Loss = Selling Price per mango - Cost Price per mango = Rs 1.2 - Rs 0.83 = Rs 0.37 (profit, because the selling price is more than the cost price)

Now, let's calculate the profit percentage.

Profit percentage = (Profit / Cost Price per mango) * 100 = (0.37 / 0.83) * 100 = 44.57% (approximately)

So, the man makes approximately 44% profit.
