Solution(By Apex Team)
Total quantity purchased = 4 kg
Total Money paid
$\begin{array}{l}=\text{ Rs. }\left(1+\Large\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\right)\\
=Rs\cdot\Large\frac{25}{12}\\
\text{ Required average }\\
=\left(4\times\Large\frac{12}{25}\right)\mathrm{kg}/\text{ rupee }\\
=\left(\Large\frac{48}{25}\right)\mathrm{kg}/\mathrm{rupee}\\
=1.92\mathrm{~kg}/\text{ rupee }\end{array}$
