Solution : The cost price of 500 kg of cotton = INR 9,000 Total profit = 10% of cost price = 10% of 9000 = INR 900 Total selling price = cost price + total profit = 9000 + 900 = INR 9,900 Remaining cotton = 500 – 10% of 500 = 90% of 500 = 450 kg Selling price per kg = $\frac{9900}{450}$ = INR 22 Hence, the correct answer is 22.
