Answer 1

Hello , here is your answer :

Answer:

(B) 20% loss

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the the sell price of 10 articles be Rs x.

The sell price of 1 articles =Rs x/10

The sell price of 10 articles = the cost price of 8 articles

The cost price of 8 articles=Rs x

The cost price of 1 article=Rs x/8

Here,the cost price of 1 article is greater than the sell price of 1 article.

Loss=cost price - sell price

=Rs( X/8-x/10)

=Rs X/40

Percent loss=loss /cost price ×100

Percent loss=x/40\x/8 × 100

Percent loss=x/40×8/x × 100

Hence , loss% is 20%
