    A 27 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 29 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Time required to fill the basket with mango is 30 minutes. So, half the basket is filled in 29 minutes. As in every minute, the basket gets doubled. So, in 29 minutes, it is half-filled. and in the next minutes, it will be completely filled. ∴ Obviously, the basket will be half-filled (1/2) filled in 29 minutes.
