You do not need to cut the last piece because you cut it into two pieces when you cut the second to last one.

All rolls having equal length. 9 cuts are required to get 10 pieces in each roll.Hence, (45*24)/9 =120

Logically nothing is applied about the 10 cuts being 9 pieces. The problem does not state that.

In each minute, he cuts 4 and a half roll (4.5 roll).
So in 24 minutes he cuts 108 rolls.
So in 24 minutes he cuts 108 rolls.

Answer is 120 itself.
In a roll of fabric we need to make only 9 cuts to obtain 10 pieces.

He cuts 5 rolls(45/9=5) In a minute, to cut within 24 minutes, 24*5 = 120 rolls.

This question is not logically good. Can I cut two pieces together?

9 pieces per roll. 45 pieces ÷ 9 = 5.
5 * 24= 120.
5 * 24= 120.
