    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
