Answer 1

Now he can sell only 50 kg Apples. The total sales should be of ₹18,000 as to get a profit of 20%. Therefore, rate of per kg should be 18,000/50 = ₹ 360

Answer 2

He should sell the remaining apples at 36 rupees per kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The quantity of purchased apples = 60 kg,

Rotten apples = 10 kg,

So, remaining apples = 60 - 10 = 50 kg,

Cost price = 1500 rupees,

If there is a profit of 20%,

Then the selling price = (100+20)% of cost price

= 120% of 1500

$=\frac{120\times 1500}{100}$

= 1800 rupees,

Hence, the selling price of each apple = $\frac{\text{Total selling price}}{\text{Remaining apples}}$

$=\frac{1800}{50}$

= 36 rupees
