Number of cuts in 1min = 45.
Number of cuts in 24min = 45*24.
Number of rolls cut in 24 min = (45*24) /9.
(as each roll needs 9 cuts to get 10 pieces).
Number of cuts in 24min = 45*24.
Number of rolls cut in 24 min = (45*24) /9.
(as each roll needs 9 cuts to get 10 pieces).

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

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

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

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