(I) Let C.P. of the bicycle = Rs. X
∴ Loss = Rs. x/10
S.P. = C.P. – Loss
= x – x/10
But, we are given S.P. = Rs. 405
∴ x – x/10 = 405
⇒ (10x – x)/10 = 405
⇒ 9x/10 = 405 ⇒ x = 405 × 10/9
⇒ x = 4050/9 ⇒ x= 450
∴ C.P. = Rs. 450
(ii) Loss = x/10
= 450/10
…..(substituting the value of x)
= Rs. 45
Loss % = loss/C.P. × 100
= 45/450 × 100 = 4500/450 = 10%
