Correct Answer: Rs. 575 per quintal
Solution : Given the cost price = Rs. 3600 for 8 quintals 10% of rice is lost in transportation. Quantity of rice with the trader after transportation lost = $\frac{100 − 10}{ 100}\times 8 = 7.2 $ quintals To have 15% profit, the total selling price of the trader should be = $\frac{115}{100}\times 3600$ = Rs. 4140 Selling price per quintal = $\frac{4140}{7.2}=Rs. 575$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 575 per quintal.
