Answer 1

Hope this helps you ☺

Answer 2

the C.P. of 10 bananas = Rs 45
then, C.P. of 1 banana = 45/10 = Rs 4.5
therefore, C.P. of 12 bananas = 4.5 × 12 = Rs 54
S.P. of 12 bananas = Rs 51
therefore, C.P. > S.P.
So, loss = 54 - 51 = Rs 3
loss (%) = (loss/C.P.)×100
then, loss (%) = (3/54)×100
= (0.055)×100
= 5.5 % approximately
