Xavier Bage I plan to buy a second cylinder. It will cost about 4500 rupees ( a little over 5 US dollars ). So I will have to put aside money for it in the next month.

Xavier Bage Quite right. Many people have to buy mangoes. And it depends how costly they can be. In our markets they can be sold anywhere between Rs 60 to 120 per kilogram according to their quality.
