Let the cost price of other brand be Rs ‘x’ per kg

 cost price of 10 kg = Rs (4 * 400 + 6 * x)

 = Rs (1600 +6x)

 Selling price of 10 kg = Rs (10 * 354 )

 = Rs.3540

 Therefore 3540 –(1600 + 6x)/1600 + 6x * 100 =36

 1940 – 6x/1600 + 6x = 0.36

 1940 – 6x = 576 + 2.16x

 x=167.15

 so the cost of other brand = Rs.167.15
