      A Rs. 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 22 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the selling price of the sugar be Rs. x/kg.
      Therefore, loss = Rs. 12x.
      According to the question,
      12x = 924 – 30x (Since, loss = cost price – selling price)
      Or, 42x = 924
      Or, x = 22
      Therefore, selling price of each kg of sugar = Rs. 22
