loss = x/10-x/12
=x/60
loss % =x/60 ×10/x ×100
= 16.67%
=x/60
loss % =x/60 ×10/x ×100
= 16.67%

how u have reached to x/60 figure
u have taken lcm and than sorted it out
let, cp of 10 banaas is x. cp of 1 banana is x/10. sp of 12 banaas is x. sp of 1 banana is x/12..then, x/10-x/12...= 6x-5x/60 =x/60
60 is the LCM of 12 &10
yes...

Given,
The cost price of 10 bananas = The selling price of 12 bananas
To Find,
The loss percent =?
Solution,
Let the cost price of 1 banana be x
The cost price of 1 banana = x
The cost price of 10 bananas = 10x
According to the question, we know
The cost price of 10 bananas = The selling price of 12 bananas
The selling price of 12 bananas = 10x
The selling price of 1 bananas = 10x / 12
Loss = Cost price of 1 banana - Selling price of 1 banana
Loss = x - (10x / 12)
Loss = (12x - 10x) /12
Loss = 2x / 12
Loss = x / 6
Loss percentage = [Loss / Cost Price] *100
Loss percentage = [(x/6) / x ]*100
Loss percentage = 100 / 6
Loss percentage = 16.67%
Hence, if the cost price of 10 bananas is equal to the selling price of 12 bananas then the loss percent is 16.67%.
