Correct Answer: INR 3,500


Solution : The cost price of 30 defective machines = INR 1,000
The selling price of 1 machine = INR 300
Total selling price = INR 300 × 30 = INR 9,000
Profit per machine = INR 150
Total profit = INR 150 × 30 = INR 4,500
Repair cost = selling price – profit – cost price.
= 9,000 – 4,500 – 1,000
= INR 3,500
Hence, the correct answer is INR 3,500.
