    Explanation:

    Price of 1kg fresh cashew = Rs.120
    Therefore, price of 10kg = Rs.120 x 10 = Rs.1200

    10% of 10kg which eaten by rodents = 10 x 10/100 = 1kg.

    So, End of Year he had 10kg - 1kg = 9kg

    So, he sells that 9kg with Rs.20 per kg profit = 9 x 140 = 1260.

    He buy 10kg wooden box with cashew for Rs.1200 and sell that for Rs. 1260

    So, profit = 1260 - 1200 = Rs.60 more money he get.

    Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
