Answer:17.7% loss
Step-by-step explanation:
the man buys 200 bananas at 8 a rupee
so cost of 200 bananas = 200/8
= ₹25
buys 250 bananas at 4 a rupee
so cost of one banana = 250/4
= ₹125/2
= ₹62.5
total spent on 200+250 = 450 bananas = 62.5+25
= 87.5
he sells 450 bananas at 6 for a rupee
he earns ₹ 450/6
=₹75
his earning is less than his spending.
so it is a loss
loss = 87.5 - 75
= 15.5
loss% = loss/cost price × 100
(15.5/87.5)×100
0.177 × 100
= 17.7% loss(ans)
hope it helps you!!
