Correct Option: D
Let the shopkeeper buy 100 kg. of product.
⇒ C.P. of 100 kg. of product = Rs. (150 × 100) = Rs. 15000
15% of products is damaged.
Remaining weight of product = 100 - 15 = 85 kg
At a profit of 20% ,
| ⇒ S.P. of 85 kg. of product = Rs. |  | 15000 × 120 |  | = Rs. 18000 | |
| 100 |
| ∴ S.P. of 1 kg. of product = Rs. | | 18000 | | ||
| 85 |
| S.P. of 1 kg. of product = | = Rs. 211 | 17 | 17 |
