Question

Rajesh was a chemical engineer working for a company selling insect ** spray. He was aware how this product could harm the health of the users and was constantly looking for ways to improve the product. Filled with innovative zeal, he worked hard and developed a mosquito repellent which produces sonic waves to drive away mosquitoes. It is non-smoky and does not emit any kind of fragrance or odour.

The product was to be packed in a corrugated box with an extension cord as free gift. Its price was fixed at Rs. 260 per unit.
