Laura loves mango, Kim loves banana and Jim loves banana

Step-by-step explanation:

If every child loves to eat two things then we can tell what those are even if it doesn't tell us right away. Like Laura, it says she likes Apples but not Bananas. If she has to like two things but it can't be Bananas it must be something else, and the only other thing s Mangos, so Laura likes Mangos.

Jon loves Mangos and Bananas, so that's both, which means he doesn't love apples.

Kim loves Mango but not Apple, so she has to love something else, and the only thing left is Banana.

Jim doesn't love Mango so he has to Love Apple since he also loves banana.

Let me know if something didn't make sense.
