Let's call the weight of the mango "m".

We know that the durian is 5 times as heavy as the mango, so the weight of the durian is:

5m

We also know that the durian is heavier than the mango by 1.86kg, so we can set up an equation:

5m - m = 1.86

Simplifying this equation:

4m = 1.86

Dividing both sides by 4:

m = 0.465

So the weight of the mango is 0.465kg.

To find the weight of the durian, we can use the fact that it is 5 times as heavy as the mango:

5m = 5(0.465) = 2.325

Therefore, the weight of the durian is 2.325kg.
