$Let \: x, y \: (x,y>0) \: be \: the \: number \: of \: fruits \: the \: small \: and \: large \: baskets \: hold \: respectively \\ We \: have \: a \: system \: of \: equations:2x + 4y = 60 \: \wedge \: 2x + 10y = 132 \\ \Leftrightarrow x = 6 \: \wedge \: y = 12 \\ \Rightarrow The \: small \: baskets \: each \: include \: 6 \: fruits \\ \Rightarrow The \: large \: baskets \: each \: include \: 12 \: fruits$
