Solution
An unripe mango placed in a concentrated salt solution to prepare pickle, shrivels because it loses water due to osmosis.
Explanation:
When a raw mango is placed in a concentrated salt solution, it loses water by osmosis. It shrivels up and is used to create pickles. Water moves from a solution with a low concentration to one with a higher concentration.
