Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Inertia is a body's tendency to be in a state of rest or a uniform motion unless an external force acts upon it. For example, Newton's first law of motion is also known as the law of inertia. It states, "every object will continue in its state of motion or state of rest unless an external unbalanced force is acting on it."
Initially, mangoes were at rest, and after shaking the branches, the branches came into motion while mangoes retained their inertia of rest. So, it gets detached, and because of gravity, it falls.
