Mary for one papaya can buy 3 apples instead.
For two papayas, Mary can buy 6 apples. Assuming that Mary buy all apples using 1/6 of her money, she can buy 6+2=8 apples.
For the remaining of her money left (5/6 of her money), she can buy=8*5=40 apples. Hence 1/4 of her remaining money, she can buy 40/4=10 apples.
Total apples Mary buy is 10 plus the two apples she buy initially =12 apples
