Amount paid for 0.25 quintal of hirada = ₹ 9,500

∴ Cost per quintal of hirada = Amount paid for 0.25 quintal of hirada ÷ 0.25

= ₹ 9,500 ÷ 0.25

= $\frac{9500}{1} \div \frac{25}{100}$

= $\frac{9500}{1} \times \frac{100}{25}$

= 380 × 100

= ₹ 38,000

Thus, the cost per quintal of hirada is ₹ 38,000.
