Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Given: Sandeep bought 45 grinders for Rs. 2215, transporting cost Rs. 2190, and packing cost Rs. 2760.

Step 1: Find total cost price (CP).

  • Total CP = 2215 + 2190 + 2760 = 7165

Step 2: Add 20% profit on the total CP.

  • 20% of 7165 = 0.20 × 7165 = 1433

    Total selling price (SP) needed = 7165 + 1433 = 8598

Step 3: Find selling price per grinder.

  • SP per grinder = 8598 ÷ 45 = 191 1/15 = 191.066...

    Rounded to two decimal places: 191.07

Final answer: Selling price required per grinder ≈ Rs. 191.07 (exact value 191 1/15).

Note: The originally provided 191.06 is a minor rounding variation; the exact value is 191 1/15 which rounds to 191.07 to two decimal places.
