Each apple would have to be sold at $Rs.10.33$ for the vendor to make his desired profit.

We first calculate his total expense on the apples, the sum of the cost of the apples and what he spent on transport.

$4800+400=5200$

If he wants a profit of $Rs.1,000$ on the apples, he would need to sell all the $600$ apples for:

$5200+1000=6200$

Since there are $600$ apples to be sold, each apple would need to be sold at:

$6200/600=(62cancel00)/(6cancel00)=62/6=10.33$

Each apple would have to be sold at $Rs.10.33$ for the vendor to make his desired profit.
