12 kg

- Initially, the grapes weighed 15 kg with 90% water content, meaning 13.5 kg was water and 1.5 kg was non-water (pulp).

- After sun exposure, the water content reduced to 85% of the total weight.

- The weight of non-water content (1.5 kg) remains constant.

- Let the new total weight be $x$ kg. Since 15% of $x$ is the non-water content, set up the equation: 0.15 $x$ = 1.5 kg.

- Solving for $x$ gives $x = 1.5 / 0.15 = 10$ kg.

- This matches Option 1.

Correct Answer: Option 1 – 10 kg
