Hi

We can solve this question easily if we calculate the molar mass
Now,
One mole of table salt NaCl = 58.44 grams
while a mole of table sugar = 342.2965 grams.

The cost per gram of table salt and sugar is 0.002 (i.e. 2/1000) and 0.006 (i.e 6/1000) respectively

Then, the cost per mole of each of these would be 58.44x0.006 = 0.117 (~ 12 paise) per mole of NaCl and 342.2965x0.006 = 2.053 per mole of sugar.



Thank you
