The correct answer is

3500

The selling price per machine is Rs. 300, and he sold 30 machines. The total selling price is:
Selling price = 30 * 300 = Rs. 9000.
The profit from each machine is Rs. 150, and the total profit is:
Profit = 30 * 150 = Rs. 4500.
Thus, the cost price for 30 machines is Rs. 1000, and the total repair cost is Rs. 3500.
