950 gm

- The seller is selling fruits and claims to sell them at cost price but is still gaining.

- This essentially means he is providing less than the actual weight for the stated price of 1 kg.

- The percentage gain "?? ?? ????" is not specified, but the gain is derived from providing less weight.

- Let's evaluate the options:

- Option 1: 905 gm - If the seller gives 905 gm pretending it's 1 kg, he is gaining weight equivalent to 95 gm per kilogram.

- Option 2: 5 gm - Giving only 5 gm is unrealistic as it doesn't equate to pretending 1 kg.

- Option 3: 900 gm - Giving 900 gm as 1 kg results in a significant gain of 100 gm per kilogram.

- Option 4: 950 gm - Providing 950 gm as 1 kg results in a gain of 50 gm per kilogram.

- Option 4: 950 gm is correct as it reflects a realistic gain while selling at a purported cost price.
