- ramu is making profit of 10% on weight because he puts 1 kg on shorter site.
to balance this profit if there is decrease of 1/10 in weight then there should be increse of 1/9 in price so 1/9 of 27=3
cost price=27+3=30

- shorter plate is 10% than other on balance weigh.and he put 1kg of weigh on it.Now total weigh on shorter is 1kg+(10% of 1kg)=1kg+100gms.hence other side of the plate should have apple of weigh 1.1kg. and cost of 1.1 kg will be 27+2.7=29.7ans. (approx 30)
