This question involves the technique of weighted average and simple average.

In case I :
30 mango fruits are sold for $(1/2) each (2 fruits for 1 dollar), and another 30 mango fruits are sold for $(1/3) each (3 fruits for 1 dollars).
Hence, the weighted average price for each mango fruit
= (Total price for 60 mangoes fruit) / (Number of mango fruits)
= [$(1/2)×30 + $(1/3)×30] / 60
= $(25/60)
= $(5/12)

In case II :
60 mango fruits are sold for $(2/5) each (5 fruits for 2 dollars).
Hence, the simple average price for each mango fruit
= $(2/5)

The two cases are not the same. No one would expect they have equal total prices in case of different average prices.
