The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the calculations as outlined in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Determine the Cost Price per Quintal The cost price of wheat is given as Rs. 750 per quintal. ### Step 2: Convert Quintals to Kilograms Since 1 quintal is equal to 100 kilograms, we need to find the cost price per kilogram. \[ \text{Cost Price per Kilogram} = \frac{\text{Cost Price per Quintal}}{100} = \frac{750}{100} = 7.5 \text{ Rs.} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Gain The trader wants to gain 10% on the cost price. We calculate the gain as follows: \[ \text{Gain} = \frac{10}{100} \times \text{Cost Price per Kilogram} = \frac{10}{100} \times 7.5 = 0.75 \text{ Rs.} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Selling Price The selling price is the cost price plus the gain. Thus, \[ \text{Selling Price} = \text{Cost Price per Kilogram} + \text{Gain} = 7.5 + 0.75 = 8.25 \text{ Rs.} \] ### Final Answer The trader must sell the wheat at Rs. 8.25 per kilogram to gain 10%. ---
