Answer 2

Given
Apples purchased 60kg
Amount ₹1500
Profit =20%
Rotten fruit =10kg
total left fruit in kg =5
so; we can find rate of each kg
with 20%. of profit on whole transaction
1500*20/100=30000/100
i.e;300
60kg =₹1500
so;1kg =1500
1500/60=25
25*20/100=5
total amount with 20% profit =1800
₹1800/50 kg
so; 1 kg will be sold ₹ 36
